Need help choosing?

Start new requests from TheFixers Get help. Use this page for existing requests or staff checks. If you are choosing where to start, use the embedded Need help choosing option inside Get help so you do not create a second request.

Refer a Friend

You were referred by someone who wants to help

You can look around first. Starting Quick Help does not mean paid work starts immediately; we check the request and explain the next step.

1. Send the linkUse a normal message: โ€œI thought this might help you.โ€
2. They decideYour friend can read it first, ask a question, or start Quick Help.
3. We check itIf their job goes ahead, we check whether a 5% thank-you applies.
Only share with people who may genuinely need help. To be counted, they should start through your referral link before booking.
Referral thank-you

Your referral link has been kept

You came through a referral link. You stay in control, and paid work does not start until the next step is clear.

Example: a AUD 300.00 job could mean AUD 15.00 as a thank-you after we check it.

Thank-yous are not guaranteed. To be counted, the person should start through your referral link before booking.

Thank-you guide

See what 5% can look like

Open this small guide only if you want example amounts. The person you refer still chooses whether to get help.

Example job amountPossible thank-you
AUD 100.00AUD 5.00
AUD 200.00AUD 10.00
AUD 300.00AUD 15.00
AUD 500.00AUD 25.00
AUD 1,000.00AUD 50.00
Keep it friendlyShare it as a helpful suggestion, not a sales pitch.
We check itIf the job goes ahead, we check the thank-you before confirming it.
No extra costThe referral thank-you does not add extra cost to the customer.
Example: a AUD 300.00 job could mean AUD 15.00 after we check it. It may not apply to cancelled, refunded, repeat, fake or self-made bookings. Simple sharing works best: โ€œI thought this might help you.โ€
Fair sharing

How we keep referrals fair

You stay in control. Referrals are checked so the person who shared the link is only thanked when the rules allow it.

Do not refer yourselfA thank-you is for sending someone else to friendly tech help, not for your own booking.
One real request is enoughDo not create the same booking more than once or ask someone to submit fake details.
Only completed work can countA thank-you may not apply if the job is cancelled, refunded, unpaid, unsuitable or does not go ahead.
Use your link firstTo help us count it, the person should start through your referral link before booking.
No pressure: do not promise a guaranteed thank-you, create fake or repeat bookings, refer yourself, or pressure anyone to book.

status and safety polish

Need to change, check or pause a referral?

Use the existing support path instead of creating repeat referrals. This keeps the person on one safe thread and reduces confusion on mobile.

loop closure

Student referral mobile loop closure check

The referral loop is ready when a person can discover, share, join, accept, check support and move to campus help without leaving the existing safe pathway.

status and support polish

Need to check or correct a referral?

Use the existing support path. Do not submit the same referral again just to check progress, change contact details or ask a privacy question.

Safe handoff

Keep referrals simple and safe.

If the person needs help now, use Campus Help or Quick Help. If they are unsure, worried about privacy or already have a request open, use support before starting another path.

Support safety bridge

Use support as the fallback when the campus flow is unclear, urgent, private or already in progress. Do not start a second request unless the existing path asks for it.

Urgent support

If there is immediate danger, call emergency services first

For suspicious messages, account access, remote access requests, banking/code pressure or unsafe behaviour concerns, pause and contact support before taking the next step.

Support contact clarity

Support can help you choose the safest next step.

Use support for booking questions, safety concerns, payment questions, privacy requests, provider concerns or next-step confusion. Keep the same job or support reference where possible so the team can connect your history.

Support can help with

  • Booking questions or changes before work starts.
  • Safety concerns, scam worries or provider concerns.
  • Payment, quote, invoice, refund or receipt questions.
  • Privacy requests, contact-detail changes or data questions.
  • Next-step confusion when you are not sure what to do.

Before you submit, include

  • Your name and the best contact email or phone number.
  • Any job, booking, quote, invoice, referral or privacy reference you already have.
  • A simple description of what happened and what you need help with.
  • Screenshots or photos only if they are safe and do not show private codes.
  • Whether anything feels urgent, unsafe, confusing or time-sensitive.
Response expectation: Support reviews your message and replies through the appropriate existing support path. We cannot guarantee an exact response time unless a separate written policy applies. Urgent or unsafe: if someone is in immediate danger, call local emergency services first. Do not send passwords, PINs, one-time login codes, remote-access approvals or banking codes.
Escalation Good to know: Support can review, clarify and link concerns. This panel does not create a new page, requesting system, customer support system, support queue, process, automatic booking, payment action, provider assignment or guaranteed outcome.
Evidence checked

Trust wording is reviewed before it is shown

Public trust notes should be based on real review, referral, warranty or provider evidence, not self-claimed badges or automatic ranking.

Support is now part of the request journey

For a new problem, use Get help and add your uncertainty in the embedded Need help choosing box. This keeps one customer thread instead of separate competing support paths.

Get help

Start from one customer path

New request, Quick Help, referral and normal support context all lead into the same reviewed request flow.

Support guidance

Support is the right place when you are unsure.

Use support to add missing details, ask what happens next, correct something, or keep a question connected to the same job/reference.

  • Keep the same job or support reference when you have one.
  • Ask before going ahead if anything feels unclear.
  • Use support instead of submitting repeat requests.
  • Private access details should never be sent through a form.
Good to know:
You are not expected to diagnose the problem yourself. Start with the safest description you can give. Do not share passwords, one-time codes, banking codes or private access details.
Easy to use on mobile: one clear next step, larger tap targets and comfortable spacing.

Helpful note

Support trust and proof notes

Ask for more detail without relying on rankings or public price comparisons. We show only permissioned proof and plain trust notes. Nothing here ranks providers, compares quotes publicly, creates price competition or publishes testimonials automatically.

Trust note

Permissioned proof only

Proof or testimonials should only appear when the person has given permission and an admin has checked the public wording.

Trust note

What this proof means

A proof note is a plain-language confidence signal. It is not a ranking, guarantee, price competition result or lowest-price comparison.

Trust note

No proof yet

This provider has not added public proof yet. You can still ask a question or request more details.

What this proof means: proof is a customer-safe signal that someone had a useful experience or that an admin has reviewed a safe public summary. It is not a ranking, provider score, price comparison, promise of availability or automatic endorsement.
No ranking / no price competition: customers can ask questions or request details, but this display does not create price competition, price competitions, public price comparison or provider comparison.
