100% free for companies and for the trades you hire — no lead fees, no commission, and every cost of running CcAHub is carried by our partners.

THE COST OF CHASING
You need a licensed carpenter in Surry Hills for Monday.
Your mate’s cousin knows a guy. But does he hold a licence, and who issued it? Is he insured? What does he charge? Every question is a phone call, and a day of calls is a day off site.
What you chase today
- Does he actually hold a contractor licence — and who issued it?
- Is he insured, and for how much?
- What does he charge — and does it change once he is on site?
- Can he start Monday, or is he booked out until next month?
- What has he built that looks like my job?
- How many calls before one of those questions gets answered?
What the profile answers
- Licences named, with the register number, the issuer and the issue date behind each.
- Public liability cover, and the amount the professional declared.
- The rate they set, printed on the profile, before you call.
- Availability, and the radius they travel from their suburb.
- Portfolio photos, filed under the trade they were built in.
- A direct message to them — no ad to post, no auction, no middleman.
ON EVERY PROFILE
Written by the professional. Read by you before the first call.
Nothing here is filled in on the professional’s behalf, and nothing is inferred. What the profile states is what they declared, laid out so a hiring decision can be made without a phone call.
The rate, set by them
An hourly figure the professional fixes and edits — visible before you pick up the phone, and filterable in search.
Licences, named with their issuer
Each licence and certification named with its register number, the issuing authority and the issue date, exactly as the professional declared it.
ABN, checked where provided
The ATO check digit is verified and the number shown with a link to the public register, so you can confirm the business without asking for paperwork.
Insurance, declared and stated
Whether they hold public liability cover and for how much — their own declaration, for you to verify before work starts.
Service area and travel radius
The suburb they work from and how far they travel, so a shortlist holds people who can actually reach the site.
A portfolio under the trade it was built in
Finished-work photos with one-line captions, on the same page as the credentials — the evidence next to the claims.
We check ABN where provided. Licences are self-declared. Always verify before hiring.
FROM SEARCH TO SITE
Three steps from a search to a message.
- 01
Search by trade, suburb and rate band
Filter by trade, specialisation, location, travel radius and hourly rate, then sort the shortlist by price.
- 02
Read the record before you call
Rate, licences with their number and issuer, ABN where provided, insurance, availability and portfolio — on the profile, in one place.
- 03
Message the professional directly
No ads to post, no lead auction, no commission on the work. What you agree stays between you and them.
Start with the trade you need.
WHAT IT COSTS
Free for you. Free for the trade you hire. Paid for by our partners.
CcAHub is 100% free on both sides of a hire. There is no subscription, no job ad to buy, no charge per lead and no commission on the work — so no platform fee is priced into the rate you read.
Nothing to pay, at any step
Search, open a profile and message the professional without creating an account and without a card. There is no tier, no upgrade and no fee that unlocks the shortlist.
Nothing for the trade, either
Publishing a profile costs the professional nothing: no listing fee, no charge per lead, no share of what they earn. The rate on the profile is their price for the work, with no platform fee loaded into it.
Our partners carry the cost
Australian suppliers, training providers and industry partners fund the platform, because they want a construction market where the available trades can be found. No invoice reaches either side of a hire.
PASS IT ON
A trade who is not on the network is a trade you cannot find next time.
The search only holds the professionals who published a profile, so passing the address on is what makes the next job, in the next suburb, a shorter search. Send it to the crews and subcontractors you already use — and to the companies you build alongside.
The address to send
ccahub.me
One door for both sides: the register form for a professional who wants to be found, and the search for a company that is hiring today.
To the trades you already use
Send them ccahub.me. Five steps from the register form to a public profile at ccahub.me/their-name: trade, licences, portfolio, availability and the rate they set. Free for them, and the record stays theirs.
To the companies you build alongside
Builders, developers and homeowners hire from the same short list of people they already know. Point them at this page: search by trade and suburb, read the record, message directly.
Nobody pays to be found
No sponsored results and no paid placement: the profiles a search returns are the ones that matched the trade, the suburb and the rate, because our partners already carry the platform.
