handyman jobs in Australia
Find a handyman
Group small repair and installation tasks into a clear list so a handyman can assess time, access and the tools or materials needed.
Choose Handyman when posting, then add your town or suburb and state. Registered trades can view shared briefs that match their trade and state.
Common handyman projects
- Small household repairs
- Shelving and hardware installation
- Assembly and maintenance tasks
Before agreeing to the work
Ask which tasks are within their scope and whether the quote is hourly or for the complete list. Confirm material supply and cleanup.
Confirm the person’s experience, relevant qualifications and insurance directly. Agree on a written scope and price before work starts.
What to include in your job brief
- List each task separately with quantities and approximate dimensions. Explain what is broken, missing or being installed.
- Photograph the fixing surface, hardware and damaged areas. Include product or assembly instructions where available.
- Say which materials or replacement parts you have and note access or scheduling constraints. Identify tasks requiring a specialist trade.
An example brief
Fit two shelves in a study and replace a loose cupboard handle. I have the shelves and handle, with photos of the walls and cupboard.
Replace the details with your own job, location, photos and timing. A clear brief helps a tradie decide whether the work suits them.
How TradeBrief helps
You can sign in as a client to share a job brief with photos and a contact method. TradeBrief is in early access: responses and local availability depend on the trades using the platform. Posting does not guarantee a quote or a booking.
The directory shows sponsored businesses when listings are available. A listing is not a guarantee of suitability for your job.
