Questions
Good to know
Where is Freelancer Village available?
Freelancers anywhere in Australia can join now. Clients can book in Sydney first, then right across Australia six months after launch.
Do I need an ABN?
Yes. Freelancers work as independent contractors, so you'll need an ABN before your first payout. If you're new to working on an ABN, we'll point you to help with setting up your tax.
Who pays my super?
The client does. 12% super is added on top of your rate and paid into your fund for every job. It never comes out of your pay.
What does verification cost?
Checks are charged at exactly what they cost us, with no markup. For example, a national police check is about A$52 to A$60. You can have it taken out of your first payout, so there's nothing to pay upfront.
Does the platform handle my tax?
We don't hold back tax, but every payout shows a suggested amount to set aside, and you get an end-of-year summary for your accountant.
When do clients pay?
Half when they book. For jobs up to a week, the rest is charged once the client approves the timesheet. For longer jobs, each week is paid before it starts, and the end-of-week timesheet settles any difference on the next payment.
Is my pay protected?
Yes. Every booking starts with a client deposit, and on longer jobs each week is paid before it starts, so you never work a week that hasn't been paid for.
Can I set higher rates for weekends and public holidays?
Yes. You set your own weekend, night and public holiday rates, and event plans flag NSW public holidays automatically.
