  • How do refunds work?

    Refunds follow Taskoon’s fair cancellation policy:

  • How do taskers get paid?

    Taskoon pays taskers weekly through Stripe. Taskers onboarded before launch will be charged only an 8% service fee, and they also receive a portion of the booking fee, which helps cover travel time and arrival costs. Taskoon keeps a small part of the booking fee as a platform fee. This model ensures taskers earn more per job, both from the service fee and from the booking fee share.

    Taskoon requires every tasker to follow Australian OHS/WHS standards before, during, and after a task. Each tasker must complete a pre-task risk assessment to identify hazards, assess risk levels, and confirm that the environment is safe to begin work. This ensures that all tasks are carried out safely, responsibly, and in compliance with national guidelines.

  • Do Taskers perform a pre-task risk assessment?

    Yes. Before starting any job, taskers must complete a Pre-Task Safety Checklist, which includes:

    1. Identifying hazards (environmental, physical, chemical, or situational)

    2. Assessing the level of risk

    3. Determining whether the task can be done safely

    4. Confirming they have the right equipment and skills


    If a task is considered unsafe or high-risk, the tasker must not proceed until it is made safe.

  • How are incidents or hazards reported?

    Taskers can report hazards, incidents, or near-misses directly through the app using the Incident & Hazard Reporting tool. This allows Taskoon to take action, support the tasker, and maintain platform-wide safety standards.

  • Can a tasker stop work if conditions are unsafe?

    Absolutely. Taskers have the right, and the responsibility, to stop work immediately if conditions are unsafe or if new hazards arise. This aligns with SafeWork Australia obligations and ensures the safety of both the tasker and the customer. The tasker can report the issue through the in-app incident feature.

  • Do taskers complete SWMS for high-risk tasks?

    Yes. If a task involves any high-risk activity as defined under Australian WHS laws, taskers are trained and required to complete a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS). This ensures that the task is planned, controlled, and executed safely with the right precautions in place.

  • What quality checks are done after the task?

    After every task, taskers must complete the Post-Task Quality Checklist to confirm:

    1. The job was completed to standard

    2. The area is left clean and safe

    3. Any issues were communicated to the customer


    Customers also provide feedback and ratings, helping maintain high quality and accountability across the platform.
