A smarter way to earn.

Whether you're looking to fill gaps in your schedule, build a flexible side income, or grow a customer base for your existing services — Task Helper puts you in control. No cold calling. No chasing invoices. No racing to the bottom on price. Just show up, do good work, get paid.

Earn on your terms

Jobs come to you: no bidding, no quoting, no negotiating. Your earnings are based on the service type and your experience tier on the platform. The price is fixed and shown before you accept, so you always know what you'll make.

Work when it suits you

Set the days, times, and areas that work for your life. Full-time, part-time, weekends only — there's no minimum hours requirement and no lock-in. Accept the jobs that fit. Decline the ones that don't. Your schedule stays yours.

A platform built on trust

Task Helper isn't a bulletin board. Every helper is police-checked and every booking is tracked through the app. That means customers who book through Task Helper are actively choosing a vetted professional, not just whoever's cheapest. Your reputation is protected from the start.

HOW IT WORKS

Up and running in four steps.

From sign-up to first job — here's what the process looks like.

STEP 01

Sign up and build your profile

Create your free account and tell us what services you offer, your experience level, and when you're available. Nice and easy.

STEP 02

Complete your police check

As part of approval, you'll complete an NZ Ministry of Justice criminal record check. It's a one-time step and it's what earns you access to customers who are actively looking for someone they can trust.

STEP 03

Start receiving jobs

Once you're approved, you'll receive notifications for jobs that match your services and area. The fixed price is shown upfront. Accept the jobs that work for you, pass on the ones that don't.

STEP 04

Get paid — automatically

Complete the job, submit a photo confirmation in the app (if required), and your payment is released to your Task Helper wallet within 24 hours. No invoices. No follow-ups.
