Taskers Community Guidelines
View Poster Guidelines
We're passionate about connecting people ready to work with people who need work done. As Airtasker continues to grow it's important that the community follows guidelines that reflect our values and standards of behaviour. We work hard to enforce these guidelines so that we can maintain our authenticity and transparency, so that everyone has an enjoyable experience.
Airtasker is here to help facilitate a reliable, safe and successful environment and is here to help resolve issues should they arise. In return, we ask for your cooperation and timely response to the Airtasker team. If you suspect a member has violated any Community Guidelines, please report it to Airtasker ASAP. Use the Report as Inappropriate feature located within the task or comments section, or go to Contact Us.
