How to find casual work near you in Australia

· 1 min read · getme team

Local work is everywhere if you make it easy for people to find you.

Make a worker profile that gets enquiries

Say exactly what you do, the suburbs you cover and when you're available. Add a clear photo and any licences or certificates; on getme, admins check them before a verified badge appears.

Know your rights

Employees are covered by minimum pay rates under awards set by the Fair Work Commission. If you're working as a contractor with an ABN, you set your own price. The Fair Work Ombudsman explains the difference.

Avoid job scams

Never pay to apply for a job, and be wary of anyone asking you to receive money or parcels on their behalf.

Where to look

Browse jobs near you by city, for example Brisbane or Perth, and list your services for free.
