Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I create an account?

Simply download the HelpingHandsAu app and sign up using your email address. You'll receive a verification email to activate your account.

How do I post a task?

After logging in, tap "Post a Task" and fill in the required details: title, description, budget, location (online or offline), and category. For offline tasks, you'll need to share your GPS location.

What's the difference between online and offline tasks?

Offline tasks require physical presence at a specific location (cleaning, moving, repairs), while online tasks can be completed remotely (writing, design, programming). Offline tasks require GPS location sharing.

Task Management

How do I track my tasks?

Go to "My Tasks" section to see all your posted tasks with their current status: Open (accepting bids), In Progress (assigned to a tasker), Completed, or Cancelled.

Can I update my task after posting?

Yes, you can edit task details, budget, and description before selecting a tasker. Once a tasker is assigned and payment is made, major changes require cancellation and reposting.

How do I select a tasker from bids?

Review all bids in your task details, check tasker profiles and ratings, then tap "Select" on your preferred bid. You'll be redirected to PayPal for secure payment.

Payments & Billing

How does payment work?

When you select a tasker, you pay through PayPal. The money is held securely until you approve the completed task. Only then is payment released to the tasker.

What if I'm not satisfied with the work?

If the task isn't completed to your satisfaction, don't approve it. Contact the tasker through our messaging system to discuss revisions. If unresolved, contact our support team.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are processed if a tasker fails to complete the work or if there are legitimate disputes. Contact support with details for case-by-case review.

For Taskers

How do I find tasks to bid on?

Browse the "Available Jobs" section, filter by category, location, or budget. Read task descriptions carefully before submitting your bid with your preferred price.

How do I communicate with task owners?

Once selected for a task, an in-app messaging portal opens automatically. Use this to coordinate details, share updates, and confirm completion.

When do I get paid?

After completing a task, mark it as "Complete" in the app. The task owner will review and approve the work. Payment is released to your account within 24-48 hours after approval.

Technical Issues

The app won't load or crashes

Try closing and reopening the app, check your internet connection, and ensure you have the latest version. If problems persist, restart your device or contact support.

GPS location isn't working

Ensure location services are enabled for HelpingHandsAu in your device settings. For offline tasks, accurate GPS is required for taskers to find you.

I'm not receiving notifications
