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.

4. Pricing and payments
To ensure a safe and rewarding environment for all members of the Airtasker community, it's important to understand how pricing and payments work.
4.1 No partial payments
Any offers made on your task should be for the full scope of the task. When you accept an offer, that is the final amount that you're obligated to pay and there are no additional fees. Tasks offering partial payment, including sales and commission based tasks, are not permitted and will be moderated and/or removed.
4.2 Airtasker Payment Account
Cash payments are not supported on the Airtasker platform. When an offer is accepted you will need to add funds to the task, which are securely held in an Airtasker Payment Account until the task is completed. The Airtasker Payment Account ensures your funds are held safely until the task is finalised.
4.3 Accurate banking details
To provide seamless transaction of funds to your Tasker, please ensure your credit or debit cards details are valid and up to date in your Payment Settings.
4.4 Payment with VISA or Mastercard
All tasks must be remunerated via credit or debit Mastercard or VISA card. Cash or cash equivalent payments are not supported.

When you accept a Tasker’s offer on your task, you and the Tasker remain accountable for your behaviour on the Airtasker platform and the outcome of the task.
