Why It Works

Built on Real Trust

Peer-to-Peer Ratings

Every rating comes from a real tradie you've worked with on-site. No anonymous reviews, no fake ratings.

Manual Verification

Our admin team manually checks every ABN and trade licence. Only verified tradies get the verified badge.

Network Graph

See who a tradie is connected to. Mutual connections help you find tradies through people you already trust.

Minimum Rating Enforced

Ratings below 5 out of 10 are not accepted. This prevents retaliation ratings and keeps scores meaningful.

Frequently Asked Questions

For Tradies

Click Get Started and enter your basic business details — name, business name, trade, ABN and location. No document uploads needed. Your business is added to the directory in a basic form straight away, and you can build out your full profile (licence number, portfolio photos and bio) whenever you're ready.

Once you complete your full profile with your licence number and ABN, our admin team manually checks your details. When approved, your listing gets the Verified badge and a boost to your trust score. Verification typically takes 1-2 business days.

A crew link is a connection between two tradies who have actually worked together on-site. When you link with someone, you rate them out of 10 based on your real experience. Links only count when the other tradie accepts your request.

Your trust score is based on the average rating from tradies who have linked with you, plus a small bonus for each accepted link. Getting verified adds an extra bonus. The score is capped at 100 and grows as your network of real working relationships grows.

For the Public

TradieCrews is an Australian tradie directory built on real working relationships. Tradies are rated by other tradies they've actually worked with on-site — not by anonymous reviewers.

Every tradie has a trust score built from ratings by other tradies they've genuinely worked with, and verified tradies display a Verified badge after our team manually checks their licence and ABN.

No. Leads are free for tradies, and it's free for you to contact them. When you send an enquiry, the tradie receives your message by email and replies to you directly.

Use Find Tradies to search by trade and location. You can filter by state and region, and sort results to find verified tradies near you.

All major trades — plumbers, electricians, carpenters, builders, painters, air conditioning and many more across every Australian state and territory.

The trust score reflects how other tradies rate working with that person. It's built from real on-site ratings, so a high score means respected peers vouch for their work.

Ratings can only come from verified tradies who have actually worked with the person — no anonymous reviews, no fake ratings, and ratings below 5 out of 10 aren't accepted, which keeps scores meaningful.
