Just so you know, this information applies within Australia ONLY.
Badges play a crucial role in fostering trust within the Airtasker community. All members not just taskers are encouraged to have a badge on their profiles.
Badges provide valuable information to you as a Customer when choosing the right Tasker for your tasks. When certain criteria are met, a badge is displayed on a member's profile.
On Airtasker, there are four types of badges:
It's important to keep in mind that badges are awarded based on a point-in-time check. This means that the results reflect the relevant records available on the date of verification. As a Customer, you can hover over the credential badges to view the verification date though some basic badges may not display a specific date.
When engaging a Tasker with a badge, we encourage you to verify their current credentials before proceeding with the task. It's always a proactive step to ensure accuracy and peace of mind.
For more detailed information on verification and badges, you can refer to Section 10 of Airtasker's Terms & Conditions.
