FAQ
Plain answers. If something isn't covered, email help@outbackconnections.com.au.
How do I get a quote?
Find a contractor near you (search by postcode or region), open their entry and press Get a quote. No account needed: say what needs doing and how to reach you. If the business has claimed its listing, your request goes straight to them. If not, a person on our team passes it on. You get a reference number either way.
Is it really free?
Yes. Free to browse, free to ask for quotes, free to post. No lead fees, no paid placement, no premium tiers.
Where do the listings come from?
Most entries were found online: on Facebook, TrueLocal, Google Maps or the business's own website. They carry an Unclaimed Profile badge and say where we found them, because the business didn't post them. Other listings are posted directly by their owners.
I'm a contractor. Is my business on here?
Search the directory for your business. If you're there, press Claim for free on your entry: verify with your matching business email, SMS code, or 11-digit ABN to unlock instant editing and photo uploads, or submit for our team to review. Want it changed or taken down instead? Email help@outbackconnections.com.au and we'll fix or remove it. If you're not listed, post your business.
How do I post? Do I have to wait 7 days?
No waiting period — you can fill out and submit Post a listing immediately after creating your account. Verified accounts (or listings submitted with a valid Australian Business Number / ABN) publish straight away. If your account is brand new and not yet verified, your listing is saved immediately into our Pending Verification queue and our team approves it shortly. Listings stay active for 30 days and can be renewed any time.
Why is there a Pending Verification queue for brand-new unverified accounts?
To stop automated spam without making genuine farmers or tradies wait days to post urgent work. You fill out your listing once, straight away, and either confirm your ABN/email or let our team approve it.
How do I contact someone directly?
Where a business has public phone, SMS, email or website details, one-click contact buttons appear directly on the listing card and profile page. You can also send a direct quote or job enquiry on the page with zero lead fees.
What do the badges mean?
Unclaimed Profile: we found the business online and the owner can claim it for free. Claimed: the business owner manages the profile. ABN verified: we matched its 11-digit ABN on the Australian Business Register. Always check ABNs at abr.business.gov.au, get quotes in writing, and for big jobs sign a clear scope of work.
What if I see a scam listing?
Sign in, open it, scroll to the bottom and click "Flag this listing". We review every flag by hand. Something else wrong? Report it.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Account settings. Type "delete my account" in the confirmation field and click Delete. Your account and all your listings disappear immediately. Can't be undone.
Who runs this?
Outback Fencing & Steel Supplies Pty Ltd, a rural fencing manufacturer in Orange, NSW. We disclose this everywhere because we list fencing contractors alongside everyone else, and you should know who's running the platform.
