"You have questions & we have answers"
Here are some common questions we are asked about being a driver for The Courier App. Please take a minute to see if any of these answers may be helpful
No you are not an employee. You must provide your own ABN to become a driver. You will be running your own business using the app to find potential deliveries. You will be responsible for putting aside your tax and GST obligations
Here is a link to the Australian Tax Office explaining how to apply for an ABN
You must refuse. The customer can nominate you as their preferred delivery driver but must not deal with you direct. Drivers found to be dealing direct with customers will have their Courier App membership terminated and will not be able to use The Courier App as a source of income. Customers also risk termination so it's best to politely refuse.
No you can choose to work how and when you want. You can choose any job listed on the app providing you can deliver on time and your happy with the amount paid. In fact you may prefer to accept particular types of jobs over others for instance food deliveries may suit you best. That's fine you have complete freedom to accept only the jobs you want to deliver and that suit your vehicle type.
No! all jobs from all the apps and platforms we perform deliveries for will be integrated into your single driver app for The Courier App. The jobs will display the appropriate logo for the client we are delivering for. This will help indicate to you as a driver who you are representing on a job to job basis. Each client may have slightly different procedures and will likely offer differing rates of compensation.
