Quick Help terms

Quick Help is the main public repair and support entry point. It helps capture the problem, device, suburb and contact details so our team can review the request.

Technician confirmation required

Quick Help output is not a final quote, diagnosis or warranty decision. A technician must confirm the job details, quote, repair path and payment position.

What not to include

Do not enter device PINs, passwords, passcodes, banking codes, two-factor codes, card numbers or private account secrets into Quick Help.

Repair scope

Quick Help descriptions should identify the specific issue you want us to assess. Our repair scope is limited to the described and accepted issue unless we agree to include extra or unrelated faults in a revised quote or written approval.

Referral links and Quick Help

If Quick Help is opened through a referral link, the referrer is not an employee, contractor, agent, technician or representative of Your IT & Tech Mates. Quick Help remains the public repair entry point and a team must confirm the quote, scope and next steps.

Quick Help routing for Ambassador, Campus and Neighbourhood requests

Integrated 18 May 2026 Master Guidance and Directory Terms

Quick Help may receive and route requests from public customer forms, Campus Help, Neighbourhood Help, Ambassador Network links, provider invite links, QR codes, existing job pathways and provider pickup processes.

Campus Help requests

Campus Help can include student tech setup, Microsoft 365 support, device setup, study setup, assignment planning support and student referral pathways. It is learning support only and must not be used for assignment writing, impersonation, contract cheating, exam completion or bypassing school, TAFE or university rules.

Neighbourhood Help requests

Neighbourhood Help can include local tech support, scam safety guidance, phones, tablets, printers, Wi-Fi, home tech, seniors support, family tech, community group support and small business IT. Urgent scam, banking, identity, cybercrime or safety issues should be directed to the relevant bank, platform, police, emergency service or specialist service.

The repair scope and unrelated-fault terms in this document also apply where a repair or support request is created through Quick Help, Campus Help, Neighbourhood Help, an ambassador referral, a provider invite pathway or a managed provider job allocation.

NDIS, aged care and support-organisation technology requests

Your IT & Tech Mates and Quick Help are not NDIS registered providers, aged care providers, health providers, personal care providers, support coordinators, plan managers, transport providers, crisis services or care-service providers unless expressly and lawfully stated in writing.

Our role is limited to IT and technology help, device support, home technology support, repair, pickup/return coordination and related customer-service support. Where a request comes from an NDIS service provider, aged care service provider, support worker, carer, family member or organisation, we may assist that organisation and its client, resident, participant or customer with technology needs only, subject to consent, authority, privacy, safety and provider suitability checks.

We do not provide disability supports, aged care services, health services, personal care, therapy, plan management, support coordination, care advice, emergency support or government-funded care services. The person or organisation requesting support remains responsible for confirming funding eligibility, authority to request the work, consent, care-service obligations and any NDIS, aged care, workplace, privacy or safeguarding requirements that apply to them.

Guided help intake, customer groups and booking requests

Quick Help may provide guided intake pathways for general customers, students, seniors, technology help for NDIS/accessibility contexts, people requesting help for someone else, scam/security concerns, device repair, home technology, gaming consoles, CCTV, smart doorbells, TV support and other technology support categories. Intake questions are used to understand the request, triage urgency, identify safety or accessibility needs and assist with provider matching. A submitted request is not a confirmed booking until accepted or confirmed by us or an eligible provider through the applicable process.

Customers must provide accurate contact details, suburb/postcode, preferred times, device information, access requirements and any relevant safety notes. If requesting help for another person, the requester must have permission or lawful authority to provide the information and to ask us to contact that person or their support person.

Booking status and provider matching

Bookings may move through statuses such as pending, accepted, declined, reschedule requested, confirmed, in progress, completed, cancelled, no-show or review by us required. Provider matching may consider location, availability, service category, certificate status, provider eligibility, ratings, reviews, incident history, senior-friendly or accessibility-support suitability and other operational factors. We may refuse, re-route, pause or cancel a request where the service appears unsafe, unsuitable, outside scope, misleading, abusive, duplicate, spam or not supported by an eligible provider.

Provider conduct reports and safety concerns

Customers, students, seniors, carers, support workers, ambassadors and providers may report poor performance, scam concerns, rude behaviour, no-shows, unsafe behaviour, inappropriate conduct, misleading service claims, fake credentials, property concerns, tutoring safety concerns, repeated cancellations or other concerning events. Reports are reviewed internally and may lead to provider warnings, restrictions, temporary suspension, removal of visibility, further investigation or closure where unsupported. Reporting a provider does not guarantee a particular outcome, refund, replacement provider or legal finding.

Reviews, star ratings and reputation

Reviews and star ratings may be requested after completed bookings or support interactions. We may moderate, hide, decline, edit for privacy, dispute, investigate or remove reviews that are abusive, misleading, fake, defamatory, irrelevant, unsafe, disclose personal information, breach these terms or appear to be manipulated. Provider reputation, ambassador referral quality, profile visibility and badges may be affected by completed jobs, verified reviews, incident reports, conduct history, certificate status and review by us.

Special customer pathways

Senior support, technology help for NDIS/accessibility contexts, tutoring, scam/security and help-for-someone-else requests may require extra consent, safety checks, verified providers, patient-support matching, family/support-worker involvement, privacy limits or review by us. Quick Help is not an emergency service, bank, police service, legal adviser, health provider, NDIS plan manager or crisis service. Urgent danger, suspected crime, financial loss, medical risk or family violence should be reported to appropriate emergency, financial, government or specialist support channels.

Guided intake and customer pathway coverage

Quick Help may route users through different intake pathways, including general customers, students, seniors, technology help for NDIS/accessibility contexts, scam/security concerns, device repair, home technology support, help for someone else, existing bookings and provider pathways. The pathway selected helps us triage the request and does not guarantee that a provider will accept the job.

Customers must not submit passwords, one-time codes, private keys, banking credentials, unnecessary health information or other secrets in intake forms. Screenshots, photos or incident evidence should only be uploaded when relevant to the request and where the requester has authority to share them.

Gaming consoles, CCTV, smart doorbells, TVs, home entertainment devices and security devices may require different provider capabilities, safety checks, privacy checks, parts, pickup/drop-off arrangements or licensed specialists. We may restrict these categories to suitable providers.

Service request boards, referrals and provider profiles

Plain-English summary: these extra terms cover the Neighbour Help Board, Campus Help Board, School/Tutoring Help, custom job requests, provider or tutor interest, referral tracking, quote and invoice linking, future payment-readiness, provider profile pages, profile images/logos and moderation controls. They add to the existing terms and do not remove any existing rights, obligations or protections.

Service request boards and custom requests

Customers, neighbours, students, parents, guardians, staff, clubs, campus groups or other users may be able to submit a job request through a public board or request form. A request may relate to local technology help, student or campus technology help, tutoring or study support, business technology help or another custom request that is not listed in a fixed service category.

Submitting a request does not guarantee that we will accept, publish, quote, assign, schedule or complete the request. We may review, edit, categorise, hide, decline, reject, merge, de-duplicate, convert or require more information about any request. Custom requests, tutoring requests, school-related requests, urgent scam/security concerns and requests involving vulnerable persons may require manual review before they are visible to any provider or tutor.

No bidding or auction model

The service request boards are not an open auction or lowest-price bidding marketplace. Providers, tutors or technicians may express interest, request more information, accept a fixed-fee opportunity where available or submit a quote proposal for review. We may choose whether to show, approve, reject, moderate or progress any provider interest or quote proposal.

Customers may be offered a fixed-fee option, a quote, a draft quote, an invoice, a booking confirmation or another approved pathway. Price, scope, availability, suitability and safety remain subject to review, customer approval and any applicable service terms.

Guest posting, magic links and account creation

A poster may be allowed to submit a job request without creating a password account. We may send a private token, magic link or tracking link to the poster's email address so they can view request status, provide more information, approve a quote, confirm a session or cancel a request. We may require email verification, phone verification, guardian details or other checks before a quote, booking, tutoring session, payment, invoice or provider match is confirmed.

Providers, tutors, referrers, ambassadors or people seeking commission tracking may be required to create or verify a profile before accessing provider features, accepting work, displaying a public profile or receiving any referral reward.

School, tutoring and academic integrity

Tutoring and study support are for coaching, explanation, confidence-building, technology help, skills development and learning support. They must not be used to complete assessed work, impersonate a student, write assignments, take exams, bypass school or university rules, facilitate cheating or provide dishonest academic assistance. We may reject, flag or restrict any request that appears to create an academic integrity risk.

For school-age or under-18 students, we may require parent or guardian contact details, guardian approval, Working with Children Check or equivalent verification for tutors/providers, safety review and stricter moderation before any provider is shown or assigned. We may restrict direct contact between students and providers and require communications to occur through approved channels.

Referrals and commissions

Job board posts may include a referral code, referrer name, referral link, preferred provider/profile or referral source. Referral tracking does not guarantee a commission, reward or payment. A referral reward or commission is generally only considered after the related work has been approved, completed, invoiced, paid and reviewed, and remains subject to fraud, duplicate claim, refund, chargeback, cancellation, self-referral, eligibility and manual approval checks.

Referral payment or commission features may be tracked by the platform before automated payouts are enabled. Unless we expressly say otherwise in writing, referral rewards are reviewed and paid manually and may be held, reduced, rejected or cancelled where reasonably necessary.

Provider profile, provider showcase and profile pages

Approved students, tutors, providers, technicians, ambassadors or partners may be offered a public or semi-public profile, provider profile, profile card, provider showcase page or shareable link. A profile may show approved information such as display name, headline, bio, skills, strengths, service areas, campus area, business name, approved categories, trust badges, review summaries, completed work examples, rating summaries, profile images, logos or public request buttons.

We may moderate, edit, approve, hide, suspend, remove or restrict any profile, image, logo, badge, review, claim, completed job example, rating or public listing. Public profile information must be accurate, lawful, respectful, not misleading and not include private customer information, confidential information, unsafe claims, exaggerated credentials, unauthorised logos or content that infringes another person's rights.

Images, logos, media and storage

Profile photos, avatars, logos, cover images, job evidence, screenshots or other media may be uploaded only in supported formats and within size and dimension limits. We may validate, resize, compress, rename, convert, reject, quarantine, hide, delete or remove metadata from uploaded files. SVG, executable files, scripts and unsafe or unsupported file types may be blocked.

Media may be stored locally or with an approved storage provider, such as a cloud object storage provider, content delivery network or image storage service. Public profile images may be delivered from a media domain or storage URL. Users must have permission to upload any image, logo or media they provide.

Spam, moderation and safety controls

We may use spam scoring, honeypot fields, rate limits, IP/email/phone checks, content filters, duplicate detection, referral-fraud checks, manual moderation, safety flags and other controls to protect the service request boards, profiles, customers, providers, students and referrers. We may silently hold, hide, reject, limit or review suspicious submissions without explaining the specific detection method.

We may prevent provider visibility until a request has passed moderation. Internal spam scores, moderation notes, risk flags and fraud checks are operational records and are not public ratings.

Quick Help repair scope, estimates and risk notice

Quick Help intake, automated classifications, AI-assisted summaries, referral links, public forms and initial estimates are triage tools only. They do not create a final diagnosis, final quote, guarantee of repairability, warranty approval, parts guarantee or promise that unrelated faults will be inspected.

For repair, software, account, data recovery, CCTV, network, printer, TV, phone, tablet, console and device support requests, the final service scope is the issue, fault, item or service approved through a quote, invoice, booking confirmation, service form, front-page signed scope or other written agreement. The Service Terms repair, software and data addendum applies to those jobs.

Customers must not submit passwords, MFA codes, banking codes, recovery phrases, private keys, seed phrases, TFNs or unnecessary sensitive details through Quick Help or public forms. If access is needed, we will request it through a safer support process where appropriate.

My Help, Master Guidance and provider store terms

Quick Help records may link to My Help dashboard items, provider store orders, student guidance requests, guidance sessions, evidence, Resolution Centre cases and follow-up plans. Private links and customer lookups may require verification and may be restricted to protect privacy.

Master guidance, campus programs and customer portal terms

These terms are supplemented by new feature-specific policies for Master/Campus Master identities, Student Guidance Requests, private Guidance Offers, Guidance Packages, My Help dashboard, Provider Store orders, Resolution Centre links, matching/service coordination, payment records and public Master Directory trust cards.

Read these additional policies where relevant: Student Guidance and Master Guidance Offer Terms, Master Directory and Trust Card Terms, Campus Master and Campus Partner Program Terms, Guidance Packages and Follow-up Program Terms, Guidance Payout-Ready Ledger and Margin Policy, Matching, Automation and Work Queue Policy, Customer Portal, My Help and Resolution Centre Terms, and Provider Store Orders and Resolution Centre Terms.

No automatic payouts: Payout, referral, campus partner share and margin figures are payout-ready calculations only unless and until separately approved by our authorised team and processed under the applicable payment terms.
No bidding: Guidance Offers, provider interest and Master assignments are not bids, auctions, counter-bids, lowest-price competitions or public price races.

Last updated: 26 May 2026.

Cross-linked terms and policy framework

These terms must be read together with the other Your IT & Tech Mates terms, policies, notices, quotes, invoices, service forms and written approvals that apply to the relevant service. Where a specific service term applies to a repair, software job, data recovery attempt, pickup, payment, warranty, referral, ambassador, provider, partner, Quick Help request, website use or customer portal matter, that more specific term applies to that subject matter.

Nothing in any Your IT & Tech Mates term excludes, restricts or modifies any right, remedy, consumer guarantee or protection that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law.

Cash and Off-Platform Payment Notice

Cash payments, direct payments to technicians or providers, private bank transfers, side deals and other off-platform or unrecorded payments do not qualify for referral rewards, ambassador rewards, partner commissions, provider commissions, lead fees or incentives unless expressly approved by Your IT & Tech Mates in writing. Commission and reward eligibility requires the job, invoice and payment to be properly recorded, approved and processed through the approved Your IT & Tech Mates process.

Fraud, Scam and Integrity Controls

All services, bookings, referrals, ambassador activity, provider arrangements, payment claims, warranty claims, reviews and customer communications are subject to the Fraud, Scam and Integrity Policy. Your IT & Tech Mates may review service notes, booking records, quote records, invoice records, payment records, customer messages, photos, timestamps, referral records, device records and other available evidence when assessing fraud, scam activity, off-platform payment, commission eligibility, disputes, chargebacks, warranty claims or policy breaches.

Prohibited conduct includes fake jobs, self-referrals, referral manipulation, duplicate claims, artificial job splitting, commission farming, misleading reviews, payment bypassing, false identity or qualification claims, pressure selling, harassment, financial exploitation, suspicious account activity, misuse of customer data, and attempts to interfere with systems, records, payment controls or dispute processes.

Booking evidence and no-show integrity

We may rely on booking confirmations, call logs, SMS messages, emails, customer instructions, technician notes, photos, timestamps, location or route information where available, payment records and access records when assessing cancellations, rescheduling, no-shows, waiting time, site access issues, customer unavailability, warranty claims, disputes, refunds or service complaints.

Your IT & Tech Mates Commission and Referral Model

Total platform commission: 13.5% of the relevant qualifying job value.

Referral reward review: If an eligible referred job is completed and paid, the referral may be reviewed for a 5% manual reward. That 5% is included inside the 13.5% total platform commission; it is not added on top of the customer price.

Payment is manual only and normally after a minimum 14-day hold after customer payment is confirmed, subject to anti-scam, anti-cheating, duplicate, self-referral, refund, payment-clearance, chargeback, dispute, attribution, customer-consent and admin checks.

Referral rewards are not lifetime rewards, recurring rewards, trailing commissions, employment wages, partnership profits, franchise payments or automatic entitlements. Each job is reviewed separately and must meet the applicable Your IT & Tech Mates terms.

Minimum withdrawal balance: Approved referral, ambassador, partner or commission payments are manual only and generally require a minimum approved balance of $50 before withdrawal can be requested, unless Your IT & Tech Mates approves otherwise in writing.

Cash payments, direct technician payments, private bank transfers, side deals, split payments, payment redirection and off-platform or unrecorded payments do not qualify for commission, referral rewards, ambassador rewards, partner fees, lead fees or incentives unless Your IT & Tech Mates expressly approves and records the arrangement in writing.

This clause must be read with the Payment and Commission Integrity Policy, Referral Terms, Referral Policy, Ambassador Network Terms, Provider Partner Terms and Fraud, Scam and Integrity Policy.
