For cleaners in Australia

Booking software for Australian cleaners, bond cleans included.

BookingMachine lets Australian cleaners show a price in dollars for every clean, from a fortnightly regular to a bond clean, and take the booking online without a phone call. Customers pick their bedrooms and bathrooms and see the total change as they go. In the demo, a bond clean of a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home comes to A$504, with a deposit of A$126 taken when payments are on.

What Australian cleaners charge

Bark puts most Australian house cleaners at A$35 to A$60 or more an hour, and a weekly or fortnightly clean of a two- or three-bedroom place at about A$120 to A$220 a visit. Airtasker puts self-employed contractors higher, at A$55 to A$90 an hour, because their rate has to cover tax, insurance, travel and supplies as well as the work.

A cleaner in Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide who works for themselves should price from the contractor figure, not an employee's hourly wage. The booking form then shows customers a fixed price for their home, worked out from that rate.

Bond cleans

A bond clean is the end of lease clean that gets a tenant their bond back, checked against the property manager's list at the final inspection. Bark puts the national average at A$250 to A$305 for a studio or one-bedroom place, A$345 for two bedrooms, A$440 for three and A$585 for four. Airtasker gives a range of A$280 to A$700.

Make the bond clean its own service with a Bedrooms option, and sell the oven and the carpets as extras: Airtasker puts a single oven at A$135 to A$200 and carpet cleaning at A$120 to A$300. Ask for the inspection date and how you will get the keys, so the booking arrives with what the job needs.

GST and your ABN

The ATO says you must register for GST once your GST turnover reaches A$75,000. Below that it is optional. If you are registered, put GST in the prices on your booking form, because that is the price the customer pays; invoices you send from the dashboard can add a tax rate.

An ABN is the 11-digit number that identifies your business to the government, other businesses and the public, according to business.gov.au. Put it on your invoices and your website, where customers and agents look for it.

Fortnightly regulars

Most of a cleaning week is regulars. On a paid plan, customers can book a clean every week, every fortnight or every month from the same form, with a discount for regulars that you set. Each visit becomes its own booking, and the first one can be paid in full or with a deposit.

Questions.

Anything else, ask us.

Can I take bookings in Australian dollars?

Yes. Set your currency to Australian dollars in your settings and the booking form, deposits and invoices all use it, paid into your own Stripe account. Online payments are on the paid plans and start once your payments application is approved.

How should I price a bond clean?

By the size of the property, with the oven and carpets as extras. Bark puts the national average at A$440 for three bedrooms. In BookingMachine, a Bedrooms option on the bond clean service prices each size for you.

Do I need to charge GST?

Only once you are registered, which you must be when your GST turnover reaches A$75,000. The ATO has the details.

Are BookingMachine plans priced in Australian dollars?

Our plans are billed in US dollars. Your customers see your prices and pay you in Australian dollars.
