I booked a session and waited for 30 minutes without any update. No one approached me to explain the delay or offer any courtesy. I eventually left because the lack of communication was unacceptable. At this point, I feel it’s time to consider another provider.
My appointment today with H&R Block in Coomera Westfield turned into a horrible experience! Got treated like I was beneath her! Your employee would not change my old address to my now current address! Then proceeded to tell me my tax did not match up with my last year tax! Kept questioning me about my current employment title and if I did not know… Read more
it she couldnt help me. Then questioned my current employment, and my old work places I no longer work at! The attitude given by your employee was one of "Im not helping you today". Felt like I had to prove myself all the way through while conversing with her! I walked out! Instead I went with EZY TAX in Coomera Westfield and she was BRILLIANT! Bonus was I got a refund (never did get refunds with H&R Block) and the cost of their service was alot cheaper. I have been with H&R Block for 5 years and have never experienced an employee who was not helpful until NOW at Coomera Westfield! Will not be using H&R Block again especially not here in Coomera!

I would give 0 stars if I could. Completely incompetent, Ifran had 0 knowledge of Australian tax and completely botched my return.... I had to inform him numerous times of mistakes that he would make..... then he tried to charge me extra because it took him so long to do because of his own incompetence. The return he put forward to me had me owing… Read more
the ATO nearly $2200, and wanted to charge me $500 to process it. I went somewhere else and ended up getting back $2500. What kind of people are you hiring H&R Block.....
Thank you for your feedback, Andrew. We appreciate you… Read more
An Accountant that listens – My accountant at the Crows Nest branch has been handling my tax return since 2023, and I feel in good hands. She has always returned my emails and calls in good time and helped me maximise my return. I highly recommend the Crows Nest branch. Note that I gave a 3/5 score for timeliness. As advised by my accountant, H&R rolled out an update of their system, which caused her delays with the processing of my tax return. Show details · 1
Return client of many years !! – I have recently had my tax done as I have done so with H&R Block at Lithgow for many years. I return because the staff are friendly, professional and competent. I rebook in with Heather every year and look forward to seeing her, it takes a little of the sting out of the tedious task. I have faith in her experience and knowledge m, which means I will receive the best return possible. Thank you Heather and the team at H&R Block Lithgow. Show reply

First time using H&R Block Crows Nest, or any H&R Block. I am impressed. Having had taxes done at a professional services company, for many years, makes you wonder what they do to charge so much and why it takes soooo Long!! Graham was amazing.… Read more · 1
So helpful, efficient, informative. Doing the taxes for my young adults, - he had the first one done in record time and the second not far behind. Great value and price. Would highly recommend H&R Block and Graham in particular. Thank you, we will be back.
Follow-up · Graham got in contact when it was time to do the Tax again . Again it was done in amazingly quick time, he requested what was needed, sent it through and done by the end of the day. The young adults both got refunds, normally at least one of them has to pay. Pricing is great - the whole process is paninless and we are Very grateful this is a one and done - once a year. Thanks Graham. Amazing.

Excellent service received from H&R Block in Mandurah.Seamless process experience and the tax return was lodged in less than an hour. Raj has a warm friendly professional personality and she makes you feel like you are in good hands. It is worth paying H &R block's fees because in doing it yourself on Mygov could result in missing important details. I'm getting everyone I know to pay H & R block visit.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Christina McAlpine Show reply
Negative reviews
I used the online tax advisor service for a sole trader business in 2026 and it was a terrible experience. The first advisor I dealt with kept continually asking me for additional information that was already provided in the documents I uploaded. I eventually asked for another advisor to take over. I then had so many issues getting the new person… Read more
to respond to me in a timely fashion. Last year I was very happy with the service, this year I fully believe that no work was actually done by the 'accountants'. I seemed to do all the work. I provided everything needed in great detail and I believe that the advisors just acted as data entry operators. No accounting was actually done and for the price it wasn't worth it. It also took over 2 weeks when I generally believed that it would be done and dusted in one day due to the amount of preparation I did and giving them answers to questions before they were asked.
I'm giving a rating of negative 5 stars for this year's tax services.

They are a scam . What is portrayed on their website is not who they are. The Manager at Belmont is just not nice and sympathetic. They gave me someone who throughout the return kept asking his colleague for help to do my tax. Ended up giving me a… Read more
fine at the end and I said I have to think about this before I lodge my return. The so called boss who was pushing the guy to hurry up and move on to the next client came with a fee of $ 209. For what? I get that you spent time with me but being so unempathetic and charging me that fees despite I didn't lodge my return that was cruel and in human . They dont care , they just about the money they get from you. Yet they display on their website expert tax return. Its all a scam. You better off DIY if you can. No iorta of sympathetic or putting themselves in ones shoes. I just walked out of Belmont Vic office and I am very disappointed
Follow-up · HR block has resolved my concerns . So I am happy that they did

Appalling lack of knowledge in relation to allowed deductions for my line of work despite the ATO using my industry as an example. Unfortunately I paid them upfront and as the advisor would not claim my correct deduction I told them not to proceed with filing my return. They would not refund my money.

Our tax situation is simple and we were having trouble getting the ATO link in MyGov to work. For $69 the H&R Block online service was easy to use and got the job done. Highly recommend as an alternative for those having issues with MyGov/ATO online. Show reply

I was very disappointed with the service I received. The process appears to be geared towards having customers sign and lodge their tax return during the initial appointment, without allowing sufficient time to locate receipts or supporting documentation that could justify additional deductions. When I submitted further receipts within a few days… Read more
of the appointment, my correspondence was ignored. I ultimately had to escalate the matter to the branch manager (multiple calls and emails), then the state office (multiple calls and emails), and finally the national office before even receiving a response. At that point, I was advised that an additional fee would apply to lodge an amended return.
The advertised guarantee that no deductions will be missed feels misleading. Customers are required to sign a waiver, which seems to significantly limit the value of that guarantee.
I was also disappointed by the handling of their complimentary apps, such as Receipt Hub and Spend Tracker. Withdrawing these tools at short notice creates unnecessary inconvenience for customers who rely on them for record-keeping. If an app is being discontinued, it would be far more reasonable to align the change with the start of a new financial year (01-July) and provide several months' advance notice so users can make alternative arrangements.
Also expect a lot of spam emails from them. There is no specific OPT-IN process, they just subscribe you.
I'm loving the new add. Nooot. Ppl get 24% discount on their tax returns lollllll. I have to pay over $300 for business and I'm a tiny business owner not working that much and still they whack me $300. Probably gone up since I started doing my tax myself. One size fits all is not good for h & r block. Ridiculous.
