Badges help to build trust in the Airtasker community and gives customers more information when deciding who to work with on a task. When specific requirements are met, a badge is shown on a user’s profile.
There are three different types of badges on Airtasker:
- ID Badges
- Licence Badges
- Partner Badges
ID Badges
ID badges are our way of showing that users are who they say they are. Everyone who holds one (or more) of these has verified their identity with us in some way, with different kinds of badges showing what’s been proven.
Here are the ID badges available right now:

COVID-19 Vaccinated Badge

Police Check Badge
A Police Check Badge is only added to a user’s profile if they do not have a Disclosable Court Outcome (i.e. the Airtasker Member has a clean police history check) as notified to Airtasker by our verifications provider, and their name and date of birth details on Airtasker match those provided for the police check.

Apply for the Working with Children Badge
Important note for customers:
Please note that the Badge is granted based on a point in time check which means results only reflect relevant records on the date that the check was completed. If you engage a Working with Children Badge holder for tasks involving children, you should verify their current credentials prior to the task being carried out.
Once you’ve accepted an offer you can request the following details from a Working with Children Badge Airtasker:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Check no.

Licence Badges
When you’re looking at getting someone in to do a serious bit of work, like electrical work, for example, you want to know the person that’s doing it has the ability to do what they say they can do. While Airtasker has built-in functions to help you check out the quality of a Tasker’s skills (Reviews and Completion Rate), it can be helpful to know they also have the training and legal approval to do it!
That’s where Licence and Qualification Badges come in. Each represents a trade that the owner is qualified and/or licensed to do in a certain state. Make sure you see the paper version in person when they come to the job though, just to be sure.
Here are the Licence Badges available right now:
Electrical Badge
Let users know you’ve got the paperwork to properly do electrical work in Australia.
Plumbing Badge
Let users know you’ve got the paperwork to properly do plumbing work in Australia.
Gasfitting Badge

Partner Badges
These badges have been developed between Airtasker and other businesses through partnership programs, identifying people with specialised skills for relevant tasks.
