Painter questions

Does it cost anything?

No. Painters never pay. Companies pay Gapfill to find them a painter.

Who pays me, and how much?

The company pays you directly, at the rate you agree with them. We don't take a cut.

Do I need my own ABN?

Most companies want subbies with an ABN. Tell us what you have when you join and we'll match you to jobs that fit.

Who sees my details?

Only us, until you say yes to a job. Then we share your name and number with that company.
