these people completed a review on one of my rental properties. I was expecting them to send be a bill which they never did and i ended up forgetting about it with everything else going on. 6 months down the track they send me a letter of demand threatening me, so i paid them 15 mins after getting it and apologised that this happend, even though… Read more
there was no wrong doing on my part and explained that i never received a bill. i asked them for confirmation that they received my payment twice afterwards with no response.
will not use again.
Punctual and professional. They were polite and courteous throughout the inspection. I had requested that they wear masks during the visit and truly appreciated that they kindly complied. Show reply

Guy was early. Took less than 30seconds. Really friendly and great with my dog. Felt comfortable and he'd paid attention to the instructions about how to access the property. Excellent & thankyou.
Follow-up · Follow up? The reports are never clear. They always come with limited info and jobs are usually done up to 3+ times before completed. And that's when they finally attend the job. The trades aren't too blame. Housing say one thing to you after inspection, yarra valley are ok but I've had to call about jobs and the job is never what is needed. It's… Read more
I recently used TaskForce for compliance checks at two of my properties and I am extremely disappointed with the experience. The reports provided were vague, full of unclear comments, and did not properly explain the faults or the exact actions… Read more
required. Even my electrician was unable to make sense of some of the notes. For example, the same phrases were repeated like “place mechanical protection for conduit being unprotected” without any detail of location, standard required, or what actual rectification was expected.
I attempted to seek clarification by emailing TaskForce directly and also contacted the tradespeople listed in the reports, but received no response from either. This lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable.
Compliance checks are meant to give property owners clear guidance for safety and regulatory requirements. Instead, I was left confused, frustrated, and out of pocket, with no clear direction on how to fix the reported issues. Electrician and plumbers am trying to engage with saying they will need to attend and re-assess because report is way too confusing. Just a waste of time and money.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend TaskForce. A service that provides poor-quality reports and then ignores follow-up queries does not deliver value or peace of mind.
PS: In past they were fantastic, but guess it depends on the trade person writing up. However they should take responsibility to clarify if something doesn't make sense.
Follow-up · The CEO responded very promptly, though the operations team remained somewhat slow to act. After several follow-ups, their plumbing supervisor reviewed the inspection report and made updates — including correcting items that had been incorrectly marked non-compliant earlier. For example, the distance between the gas cooktop and the wall had… Read more
Hi Anil, Thank you for the very detailed… Read more (+1 reply)
The alarm person was very polite and done the job quick. He came early then meant to but that was fine as he rung to see if it was alright to come earlier as he was in Beveridge, which I said was fine.
Follow-up · No it didn't affect my day in any way. No he didn't explain anything as all he did was change the batteries.
Positive reviews
Since there are no issues with my apartment, the service is very quick. The guys are nice and go straight to work. It's finished in under 1 hour. The place stays clean after the service. Thanks!
The guys that attended where I'm renting to carry out the Safety Check were very thorough, very efficient, got the job done with a chat and a bit of a laugh had also. Nice and friendly and felt comfortable having them in my home. Highly recommend.
Both Matt the electrician and Paul the gas guy were pleasant, efficient and thorough, with the latter noting that neither gas bottles nor stove were on solid footing. He rectified the stove and has made recommendations regarding the footing for the bottles.
Negative reviews
Is it normal for one of the inspectors at the end a 10-min job to ask to use the toilet of my empty apartment, do a poo then leave water drops on the bathroom floor because it’s an empty apartment with no towels?
Thank you for your review - this is… Read more

The person who inspect the property, Alexandra, is inconsiderate and got no respect for us. Ask to call before arrival but didn’t. Didn’t take off shoes whenever she enter the house when already said so many times no shoes in the house! I have to clean the floor after she left because of that. Told her to let me know when she enter the baby room… Read more
but didn’t do so. On the lights, open the garage door, but did not care about closing the door and switching off the lights after she left. Overall, very unhappy with the inspection.
Hi Tan, thank you for taking the time to… Read more
Hopeless. Had no idea what was going on from start to finish. No contact with Taskforce at all. Only contact was with the Estate Agent when I called and spoke to them. Hope l never have to deal with this mob ever again.

Shannon was incredible, very personable and thorough with the inspection. I felt very comfortable with her in my home. Would happily have her back anytime an inspection needs to be done. Show reply
Rang when they knew they were running late. However were within the 30 minute period either side of the appointment. Great work. Performed the battery replacement and ran the tests. Show reply
Just had Nathan from Taskforce perform a smoke alarm annual test . He was punctual, very pleasant and got the job done quickly .. also explaining how next years service would work . Great job
The young lady performing the inspection was good natured, efficient and professional . She installed holding clips for the windows blinds quickly and neatly. Her explanation was clear and easy to understand.
Disappointed that they arrived 3 hours before the scheduled appointment. Especially seeing I work night shift and got woken up. Otherwise the technician was polite and efficient.

The 2 technicians attended my place to do safety checks on smoke alarm gas and electricity. They were both friendly and professionals and the job was done efficiently Thank you.
The technician was very polite and performed his task in a professional manner. I was very impressed with his work and would highly recommend him for any future work.
The electrician was polite, he respected the "no shoes inside" rule; he quickly went to get his boot covers. He also took the time to explain the dual nature of the type of alarm installed.
Renting with Jellis Craig Macedon Ranges has been a positive, seamless experience. Very professional, great communication and all the relevant property safety checks were organised by them via TaskForce. Thanks Jane and rental team at Jellis Craig!
Sparky that did the work was punctual and had great communication prior to arrival and completed the work in a timely fashion. When booking a time however it would be appreciated if a wider range of time slots were available.
Smoke alarm technician was very nice and replaced 2 detectors that were VERY out of date. He was lucky I was home when he arrived at 9.30am, as the arranged time was actually 1.00pm. He made sure both detectors were working correctly, even though we had to burn some paper to set them off, as a burning candle held 5cm away from the detectors didn't work. He was very professional and courteous. A credit to your company. Show details
The guys that came were fantastic!! They called before they came and were on time, didn’t take too long to get the job done. Very friendly and polite. Excellent service!!
From the start there were issues I booked the job 5 times and it was cancelled 4. When the job was attended to, a Danger Do Not Use sin was attached to the gas heater. No explanation. This is a fairly new unit, si I am curious to know what the fault is. I recieved a message to book another appointment. Assuming it was to close out the issue, I… Read more
tried using the link provided. The link informed me I couldn’t because it was booked within 24hrs.
No action.
I reviewed a message today confirming the job has been completed.
The Danger do not Use is still on the heater. So clearly not completed.
I just need to know whether the heater is safe to use or not.
Task Force need to communicate a lot better
