Melbourne: Keep 90% of What You Earn – Your Skills Are Worth More

Melbourne

You're Being Underpaid for Real Skills

Finding decent work in Melbourne right now feels like a rigged game. You've got the skills – you can drive, fix things, help people sort out tech problems – but too many platforms take a massive cut and leave you with the scraps. If you're keeping less than you're earning, something's broken.

Lumo works differently. You keep 90% of what the customer pays. Not 70%. Not 60%. Ninety per cent. You get paid the same day, you choose which jobs to accept, and you finally earn what your labour is actually worth.

Three Ways to Earn on Your Terms

Lumo is recruiting 300 contractors across Melbourne right now. Here's the work:

Delivery: food, groceries and packages across town by car, bike or scooter You've already been getting around the city – South Yarra to Footscray, Carlton to St Kilda, wherever. Now those trips can pay. Accept the deliveries that suit your schedule and route. It's straightforward work that fits around your life.

Roadside assistance: jump-starts, flat-tire changes, lockouts and fuel drop-offs If you know your way around a car and don't mind helping someone stranded on the side of the road, this work pays well. People need help at all hours, and they'll pay fairly for someone reliable who shows up.

Tech help: setting up Wi-Fi, TVs, printers and phones You don't need to be a certified technician. If you're the person your family calls when the internet goes down or the smart TV won't connect, that's a skill people will pay for. Lots of Melburnians – especially older residents – need this help regularly.

A Bonus That Actually Rewards You

Complete your first 100 jobs and Lumo pays you a 143 AUD loyalty bonus (about $100 USD). No tricks, no fine print.
