Trust and accountability

Mek Mi Help Provider Standards

These minimum standards apply to providers using Mek Mi Help. They support reliable service, respectful conduct, care of customers' property, and accountable resolution when something goes wrong.

Effective date: 29 September 2026   Current version: 2026-10-03-v3

Reliability and communication

  • Keep agreed appointments and arrive at the agreed time.
  • Tell the customer promptly if you will be delayed or cannot attend.
  • Communicate respectfully and keep important job information on the platform where practical.

Professional conduct

  • Dress appropriately for the work and behave professionally at the customer's property.
  • Do not use excessive profanity, play disruptive or loud music, or bring an unauthorised worker or visitor where customer approval is reasonably required.
  • Do not consume alcohol, work while impaired, use illegal drugs while performing a job, or smoke on the premises unless the customer expressly permits it.
  • Treat customers, families, children, vulnerable persons, neighbours, and other workers with respect.

Care, honesty, and accountability

  • Take reasonable care of the customer's property and follow appropriate safety practices.
  • Deal honestly, price work fairly and consistently, and explain material changes before proceeding.
  • Disclose damage, mistakes, delays, or other material problems promptly and take responsibility for putting legitimate issues right.
  • Cooperate with legitimate customer complaints and Mek Mi Help administrative reviews.
  • Maintain any licence, registration, permit or other credential required for the services you offer, and tell Mek Mi Help if a material credential expires, is suspended or changes.
  • Theft, harassment, intimidation, deliberately deceptive conduct, and concealment of damage are prohibited.

Safeguarded tutoring

  • Personally deliver every safeguarded tutoring session; substitutes, assistants, employees and subcontractors must not participate as the tutor.
  • Keep persistent coordination with the guardian. Do not require a child's private contact details or an independent off-platform contact channel.
  • For in-person tutoring, a responsible adult must remain on the premises, though not necessarily in the tutoring room.
  • Do not transport the child, provide pickup or drop-off, treat tutoring as childcare or overnight care, or record a minor tutoring session.
  • Report safety concerns through Mek Mi Help and follow applicable official child-protection reporting duties; an internal concern does not replace an official report.

Provider acknowledgement

Acceptance records the version agreed to and the date of acceptance. Approval remains a separate category-specific administrative decision.
