ELECTRICIAN / BUSINESS OWNER
After 7 years of running his electrical business, Matt grew tired of spending hours every week invoicing clients, chasing payments, and sending reminders. It was even more frustrating when clients cancelled or delayed work last minute, leaving him out of pocket with no way to recover lost time.
Matt turned to Wediate for a solution. Now, clients pay into a secure third-party escrow account while booking, ensuring they’re committed before he blocks his schedule. Wediate also automates his invoicing, saving Matt hours of admin work. When the job is done, payment is released either upon client approval or automatically on the due date.
Matt now gets 100% of his payments on time, has freed up hours every week from admin, and no longer faces last-minute cancellations.
Builder / Business Owner
Want to remove
stress like Darren?
Darren faced a nightmare when a client disputed payment on a job, dragging him through QCAT for 15 months. During this time, he still had to pay his subcontractors, which nearly drove him out of business. The stress and time involved was overwhelming.
Now, with Wediate's Pro Tier service, payments are collected in advance as the job progresses, ensuring funds are always available to pay Darren and his team.
Wediate also sends Darren reminders when milestones approach or when it’s time to submit payment claims, so he never misses a payment window.
Project funds are transferred by you into a segregated Project Escrow Account held by Commonwealth Bank.
Ensuring the safety of your money is our top priority. We've taken proactive steps to protect your investment, including securing appropriate cyber insurance policies.
Absolutely! Simply attach your own contract or terms of service to either the Job Booker or Pro Registration form and submit it to your client for approval and signature.
When you create a login, you gain unlimited access to our Minor Works Construction Contract, along with other free-to-use contracts, templates, and forms.
We release payment to you when:
A. A deposit milestone is selected in the Project Registration form. This payment is released to you on the commencement date specified by you.
B. You send an invoice or payment claim to your client via our platform, and the client either approves the invoice or it exceeds its due date without action.
C. For retention payments, when the defects liability period ends, and no claim is made against you for the remaining funds.
Using our service provides extra protection for your client. If you don't fulfil your duties under the contract, your client can pause fund release by raising a dispute on the platform. Clients who prefer not to use our service may want control over you and your money. Direct your client to the client page on our website: https://www.wediate.com.au/client, or have them call our team for reassurance.
Our tiered pricing ensures even the smallest jobs are protected. For example, our Job Booker service has a flat 3% transaction fee, meaning a $400 job incurs a $12 fee.
Either the contractor or client may cover the cost of the fee; If the client has opted to pay the fee, the contractor should add said fee to the first milestone of the project. If the contractor has opted to cover the fee this will be deducted from the first milestone of said project.
Job Booker is ideal for small, straightforward jobs under $5,000, typically lasting 5 days or less. It's a safety net to ensure quick payment for small jobs that wouldn't be worth chasing. Payment is only claimable on job completion (no deposit or retention available).

It's an opportunity to work with our team to tailor and integrate a white-labelled variation of our contract, invoicing, and escrow services into your existing platform and processes. This is especially beneficial for businesses with fixed service fees or repeat service agreements, as it automates much of the administration.
