Celebrating the growing, diverse and skilled Airtasker community<\/h2>\n
The Top Tasker Awards celebrate the growing, diverse and skilled Airtasker community, which has grown by 19 per cent in the past 12 months, with Aussies eager to boost their income by utilising their skills and helping others when they want to.<\/p>\n
Airtasker Co-founder and CEO Tim Fung added, \u201cThe rising cost of living over the past twelve months has been tough for many Australians, and we\u2019ve been super impressed again and again by our incredible Taskers who have continually delivered for their customers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOur mission is to empower people to realise the full value of their skills. Whether it be helping people to spruce up their home, attend to repairs, navigate tax returns, build a full-time business or a side hustle to fund a special occasion, we wanted to recognise the outstanding Taskers who help Aussies get more done every day.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cEach and every one of our Top Taskers have won over their clients with their craftsmanship, positive attitude and excellent customer service, and we can\u2019t wait to see what lays ahead for them all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Airtasker crunched the numbers over the past 12 months to identify the top-performing Taskers. Key metrics include Tasker\u2019s average rating, reviews and completion rate. Award recipients scored high across all metrics and consistently delivered value to their community.<\/p>\n All winners will be awarded a verified Top Tasker badge to be displayed on their Airtasker profile, with their outstanding contributions easily identifiable by customers. In addition, the winners will also receive a $500 Airtasker credit and a catch-up with CEO Tim Fung.<\/p>\n Sydney: Gardening and landscaping<\/em><\/p>\n After suffering corporate burnout, Sydney\u2019s Emil, 50, decided it was time to be his own boss and swap publishing for plants.<\/p>\n \u201cAirtasker has allowed me over the years to work when I want, where I want, and for who I want! And given me the opportunity to follow my true passions elbow deep in the garden whilst slowly and quietly building my business.\u201d<\/p>\n A keen landscaper and gardener, he joined Airtasker at the start of covid and earns more than $10-15k a month on the platform. As well as changing people\u2019s lives for the better (he\u2019s been called a \u201cmagician\u201d), he even transformed the courtyard garden of the shoe shop owned by Jasmine Yarbrough, Karl Stefanovic\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n Manly Vale: Sewing, crafts, campervan upholstery, making curtains and cushions<\/em><\/p>\n The mum of 17-year-old twins even replicated Jared Leto’s outfit to the Met Gala (carrying his head!) for One Teaspoon fashion designer Jamie Blakey and has tie-dyed scrubs for dentists.<\/p>\n She can earn anything from a few hundred to $5k+ a month on Airtasker.<\/p>\n Carnegie: Assembling basketball hoops and gym equipment<\/em><\/p>\n Nate, 45, estimates he\u2019s built more than 500 basketball hoops on Airtasker for families, individuals and sports shops, netting him more than $5k a month. He also assembles trampolines, gym equipment, and bikes and loves the flexibility of being his own boss.<\/p>\n He assembled more than 200 basketball hoops in December 2022 alone. Nate says if he\u2019s between jobs or has a spare few hours, he jumps on the platform and sees what else he can do, including removals and furniture assembly and deliveries.<\/p>\n He gets lots of referrals and says bringing birthday gifts to life is a great satisfaction.<\/p>\n Narangba: Deliveries, handyperson, furniture assembly, removals<\/em><\/p>\n Grandfather-of-two Andrew, 50, first joined Airtasker as a handyman, doing deliveries, assembling flat-pack furniture and mowing lawns when he was between jobs.<\/p>\n Having been in foster homes as a young child, Andrew identifies with victims of domestic violence, who he does a lot of work for, including donating household items people are throwing out to refugees and single-parent families.<\/p>\n When his wife suggested he study to be a social worker, he realised the platform could allow him to help those less fortunate whilst studying for a Diploma in Social Work. He\u2019s currently combining both with working on trucks in a FIFO role until his contract ends.<\/p>\n Andrew makes up to $2k a month on the platform.<\/p>\n Adelaide: Gardening, handyperson, cleaning<\/em><\/p>\n When Danny, 39, and his best friend walked out of their jobs in 2021 to set up a business helping people suffering from addictions and mental health disorders, they had no financial backing or plan. When he was working on a drug program in Alice Springs, he changed government legislation and even has a building named after him.<\/p>\n A qualified plumber and keen gardener, Danny joined Airtasker to support himself and found work as a cleaner, gardener, and handyman.<\/p>\n He helped one of his first Airtasker clients through mental health issues and says he wants to change the way Australia tackles drug addiction, which the funds from Airtasker help with as he builds the clinic.<\/p>\n Danny also loves working with retirees and pensioners, \u201cgiving them someone to talk to after the job has finished and going that extra mile as a random act of kindness. \u201cThat\u2019s the most rewarding part, as I feel a lot of customer services and human respect is disappearing.\u201d<\/p>\n Danny makes up to $2k a month from Airtasker.<\/p>\n Canberra: Computer and IT<\/em><\/p>\n FIFO worker John, 27, has always had a passion for graphic design, and makes more than $1k a month from Airtasker doing it as a side hustle. He\u2019s designed logos for businesses such as boutique breweries and law firms and says the extra money helps as the cost of living is rising so rapidly.<\/p>\n John particularly likes doing jobs for smaller companies, saying he \u201cknows how difficult it is to get your foot in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n Perth: Parties, cleaning, deliveries, bartending<\/em><\/p>\n Mum of 10 children, 7 guinea pigs, a dog and a cat, Sarah, 45, uses Airtasker to host parties (sometimes dressing up as animals!), clean, bar work, deliveries and whatever she and her husband, Jeff, 41, can manage, often finishing in the early hours.<\/p>\n They credit Airtasker with \u201csaving our lives\u201d as both suffer from health issues, so traditional jobs are hard to keep. But behind the smiles, things are tough. Sarah has an autoimmune disease and got alopecia last year, and Jeff has Stage 4 lung disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).<\/p>\n Tragically, he\u2019s only been given 5-10 years left to live, so he can\u2019t work as much as he\u2019d like, so they sometimes pay their children and their friends to help with the more labour-intensive jobs.<\/p>\n Sarah says Airtasker \u201chas given me a network of support friends that I was struggling with when I arrived from the UK and given me my confidence back.\u201d<\/p>\n Nightcliff: Handyperson, furniture assembly, cleaning<\/em><\/p>\n IT worker Alex, 51, joined Airtasker to fund his sailing boat and to bring his creative handyman skills and easy-to-relate-to personal touch to light.<\/p>\n The money has helped him buy an apartment, and Alex says his main work, which nets him up to $2k, sometimes more a month, includes renovations, ripping out kitchens, tiling work to patch-ups and larger projects that can take up to 40 hours a month for one job.<\/p>\n He says he \u201cloves the flexibility, meeting new people and social interaction.\u201d<\/p>\n Blackmans Bay: Wine tours, driving tasks, cleaning<\/em><\/p>\n Single mum of three Alicia, 41, joined Airtasker when she found herself unemployed, doing wine tours, cleaning, driving and pet-sitting.<\/p>\n As well as getting to see the stunning countryside on wine tours \u2013 and enjoying the company of stars such as Hit106.9 Newcastle\u2019s Jess Farchione and husband Angus Harper \u2013 she says, \u201cthe additional income has been a real financial relief for me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\nAustralia\u2019s Top Taskers of the Year 2022<\/h2>\n
