Helping Australians is our passion. Unetwork is an online service that quickly and easily connects your business with carefully selected professional candidates or a specific services provider depending on your particular needs

Prohibited items list

Jobs must not relate to weapons or unlawful activity, which may result in furtherance of a crime. Any requests relating to drugs, including prescription drugs or drug paraphernalia is prohibited. Not only may these activities have serious legal ramifications, but they are also against the spirit and values of Unetwork.

No advertising

We support businesses outsourcing Jobs on Unetwork to help their business grow, however Unetwork is not a platform for business advertisements, nor a job board for permanent job ads. Unetwork is also not a platform for any requests to be employed.

Unacceptable behaviours

Community is at the heart of what we do at Unetwork. Courtesy, mutual respect and seeing things from another person’s perspective is essential.

 18 years or older

All members of the Unetwork community must be 18 years or older. This is a legal requirement as people under the age of 18 are not able to enter a legal contract with Unetwork. Unetwork reserves the right to request proof of age should this be necessary.

Account administration

Your account is your responsibility and you must maintain control of it. It must not be transferred to another person as your account and reviews reflect your skills and abilities.

Members may only have a single, active account on the platform. As your account reflects your reputation in the marketplace and represents your skills and abilities, any duplicate accounts attempting to disguise a member’s history, will be removed immediately. This means that all content posted by additional accounts will be removed and any associated Job contracts will be cancelled.
