We all know the best way to spend Australia Day is to head to the beach or a mates house and enjoy the day with a good Aussie BBQ.
So we’ve come up with a few ways for you to organise a stress-free Aussie Day BBQ that’s cooler than a slab of VBs in an esky.
Get a spot
If you’re heading to the beach or park you want to make sure you’ve got your spot all sorted early in the morning. It’s easy to post a task and get someone to mind the spot for you so that you don’t have to wait hours for your friends to arrive.
Save a space
hello: we are hosting a bbq at our place in South Melbourne Australia Day. However, we need to set up and then leave for a few hours as we have a citizenship ceremony to go too. We just basically need someone who can help us set up a bit and then just watch our space to make sure no one takes our stuff or space in the bbq area while we are gone. Approx 2 to 3 hours. 10am to 1pm.

Prep the tools
First up, make sure you have the barbecue essentials set up and ready to go so you can fire up the Webber without any problems. Be sure to clean the barbecue and refill the gas bottle. If cleaning isn’t your forte or you have no idea how to connect a gas bottle, hire an Airtasker to take care of the set-up for you.

I need someone to assemble my new Jumbuck 2-burner BBQ before Australia Day. Based in Darlington just by Redfern station.

Sizzle the snags
There’s nothing worse than a burnt sausage and while tomato sauce might mask a bit of the charcoal, it won’t mask the shame of ruining the barbecue and leaving your mates feeling hungry. When it comes to serving the food and drinks, do your guests a favour and hire someone who has manned a BBQ or two in their time and can make a mean potato salad.
BBQ assistant / helper for private party
We’re looking for 1 person to assist with service of drinks and food, cooking on BBQ and tidy up at small private Australia Day BBQ 11:30am-3:00pm in Castlecrag (around 20 adults and 20 kids).

Bartender for Australia Day
Need a bartender with knowledge how to make all different cocktails and drinks for Australia Day between 12-7pm . Willing to pay $50 an hour. If you can give me a list of what alcohol and whatever mixes to buy I’ll be able to get all that sorted before the day

Airtasker Zhana Y. from Sydney, had a great experience working at an Australia Day BBQ last year:
“Waitressing for Jo and her lovely family was a breeze! Everything was organised and ready for us to go. The guests were lovely, and it was so easy to ask questions. Would be more than happy to work for Jo again! Plus, she has two gorgeous kids.”
Ice ice baby
No Australia Day is complete without an esky full of ice and drinks. Hire an Airtasker to take care of the ice and drinks so that you’ve got more time to spend enjoying the day rather than driving to the servo.
Pick up 8 bags of ice and deliver it
Please deliver 8 bags of ice to 2 Bradley Street randwick

Don’t drink and drive
If you’re planning on enjoying a few drinks, think smart and organise transport to and from your party for yourself or your guests. A safe Australia Day is a good Australia Day.

Don’t sweat the clean up!
Rather than spending the night cleaning or leaving the mess for the weekend, look at hiring a helping hand on Airtasker. By the time you arrive home on Friday evening, your house will be spotless in time for the weekend and you won’t have to lift a finger.
