Questions
The things people ask us first.
If your answer is not here, email partners@localkindness.com.au.
Do I need trade qualifications?
No. The three ready-made services - Bins In/Out, Dinner for Two and Kindness Delivery - are built around care, reliability and everyday practical skills — not licensed trade work. Work that needs a licensed trade is not part of the foundation services. You may still list a local trade on your page and take bookings for them if you and they agree.
What exactly is a Location?
A Location is an exclusive operating area allocated to one Partner — usually a single suburb of roughly 3,000 to 6,000 households. One Location, one Partner, always. You never compete with another Local Kindness Partner for the same streets.
What does it cost to start?
$100 covers your first four weeks. After that the licence is $25 per week. No lock-in. The weekly fee can only increase once a year, and never by more than the CPI.
How much of what customers pay do I keep?
After Stripe fees, supplier costs and worker payments, you keep 90% of what remains. Local Kindness keeps 10%. The weekly licence fee is separate.
Is this a job or a business?
A business. You run the Location. You can sell the licence and the goodwill you have built.
Can I start part-time?
Yes. You set your hours. Bookings are accepted at least 40 hours ahead.
My Location is not available yet. What can I do?
Check back, or email partners@localkindness.com.au.
What if it is not for me?
Cancel and the Location is released. We part as friends, or we stay as friends.
Do I get my own website?
Yes. Every Location gets its own page with your name, photo and services, built and easily maintained for you.
One Location. One Partner. One trusted local business.
