Where the crew is

Brisbane · Gold Coast · SEQ

BrisbaneGold CoastSunshine CoastIpswichLogan

Focused on Brisbane, Gold Coast and SEQ while we grow — local crews, local jobs.

  • Mate, found 2 reliable labourers in a week. Already paid for itself.

    Dan K. — Builder, New Farm

  • No tyre-kickers. Just blokes who turn up and graft.

    Mitch R. — Plumber, Burleigh

  • Reviews are from crew I actually worked with. That changes everything.

    Sam T. — Concreter, Ipswich

Be clear on what this is

This is not a lead generation platform.

No homeowners
No marketing noise
No fake enquiries

Just tradies working with tradies.

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

  1. Join

    Verified tradies only. 3-minute sign-up.

  2. Post a job

    Need workers? Post in 30 seconds.

  3. Review completed work

    Build your rep with crew reviews.

Most members land work within 7 days. The faster you complete your profile, the faster you get seen.

Join the Network

Common questions

Straight answers. No fluff.

Who can actually join?+

Active tradies and labourers only. We check your ABN, trade licence or White Card, and photo ID. Homeowners, resellers, and tyre-kickers don't get past the gate. If you're not on the tools, this isn't for you — and that's the point.

How do job reviews work?+

Both parties must confirm they worked together before either can leave a review. This stops fake reviews and keeps feedback honest. Once both sides confirm, each person rates the other on overall experience, quality, and reliability. Reviews are visible only to verified members.

What's the fair review policy?+

Reviews must be honest, first-hand, and about the work. No personal attacks, no criminal accusations, and no claims you can't back up. Defamatory reviews are removed and may breach Australian defamation law. If you didn't work the job, you can't review it — simple.

Membership

Not everyone gets in. That’s the point.

We manually review every application to keep the network tight. If you’re a real tradie working real jobs in SEQ, you’ll get through. If not, we’ll let you know fast — no charge, no run-around.

VerifiedWhat it means

The yellow shield badge means a tradie has cleared our manual verification. No bot-signups, no fake profiles slipping through.

  • Photo ID checked

    Driver's licence or passport, manually reviewed.

  • ABN verified against ABR

    Active ABN, matched to name. Sole traders welcome.

  • Trade tickets sighted

    White Card, licences and tickets uploaded and reviewed before approval.

  • Reviewed by real crew

    Only tradies who actually worked the job can leave a review.

Verification is currently handled manually by the team — usually within 24–48 hours of signup.

Second-fix carpentry — Chermside

Architraves and skirts were tight as. No gaps, no fillers. Quiet worker, just gets on with it.

Reviewed by Lisa T. (Foreman)

Early reviews shown for context. New reviews go live as jobs are completed and confirmed by the crew.

The Network is not a marketplace for homeowners. It's a closed professional ecosystem where tradies post overflow work, find reliable subcontractors, and build crews they can trust.

When you're stacked with work and need an extra pair of hands, or when the pipeline dries up and you need to jump on someone else's crew — that's what this is for. Reviews come from the tradies you worked alongside, not the public. Because only another tradie knows if you actually showed up, worked hard, and delivered.

Key features

Built for how tradies actually work.

  • Find subcontractors & crewPost overflow work or pick up extra gigs from other tradies who need hands.
  • Build your industry reputationYour work speaks for itself, job after job.
  • Get reviewed by other tradiesReviews come from the crew you worked with — not customers, not the public.
  • Connect with trusted crewsBuild a roster of mates you can call on when the workload shifts.
  • Built by tradies, for tradiesNo corporate fluff. No homeowner spam. Made for the site.

Testimonials

Real tradies. Real results.

I easily earn $500/day through connections on this site. I'd pay the membership fee two times over — so worth it.
