For Hosts

Find Skilled, Verified Help

Stop guessing about skills. Our three-tier verification system ensures you find travellers who can actually do what they claim.

The Host Problem, Solved

Traditional work exchange platforms treat hosts as inventory. We built Aussie Backpacking differently.

Other Platforms

✕No skill verification - just self-reported claims

✕Flooded with unqualified applicants

✕Hours wasted filtering applications

✕Travellers treated as primary customers
