When many new Chinese immigrants and foreign students start living in Australia, they will find that a good job is not very easy to find. A good job requires Local work experience and requires high English proficiency. It is often difficult for new immigrants and foreign students to find it for a while. Living in Tuoao, a country where prices are one of the highest in the world, the pressure of life can be described as a mountain, except for the rich second generation. Many Chinese began to look for odd jobs with low language and skills requirements, low income, tired work, and a big psychological gap. At this time, the idea of "why should I come to this damn place" often arises.
The author has also worked all kinds of odd jobs, all kinds of hard work and grievances in order to make a living. With the legalization and localization of Uber (Uber) in Australian states, I tried to do it. I found that at least before I found other formal jobs, it was a good overwork, the English requirement was not high, and the technical requirement was not high. I could drive (UberEats can also ride bicycles and do it). It`s not hard either. Anyway, I do about 20 hours a week, excluding oil, and so on, the income can reach 350, 400 Australian dollars, not much, but at least before finding other ways to earn a living, enough to support myself; And for those who already have other legitimate income, it is also a good Part-time job. that can increase their income in their spare time.
Next, Ok, will give you a detailed introduction:
First of all, Uber is divided into Uber Rider and UberEats., Uber Rider is a common ride-hailing service, and UberEats is a new delivery service launched by Uber. Considering that Uber Rider is more demanding (a qualified vehicle is required, the driver needs to have a local driver`s license for more than a year), and new immigrants often fail to meet the driver`s license requirements. Even if they get a driver`s license and get it successfully as soon as they arrive in Australia, it will be at least a year later. So this article introduces UberEats., which is less demanding.
As of June 2017,), UberEats has been operating in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Perth, and if you are in one of the six cities, you can apply for registration as a courier for UberEats.
Step 1: register, very simple, click here to enter Uber registration page, enter your Email address, name (pinyin, real name), telephone, password, city and other information;
Step 2: choose what you want to do, as shown in the figure below:
- UberX: Uber driver business, pick-up people, 21 years old and hold an Australian Full License driver`s license for more than 1 year;
- UberEXEC: professional driver, with legal rental vehicles and service cards;
- UberEats-Delivery by Car: delivers meals by car, requiring a Full License driver`s license (no need to hold a year) and a post-1998 car (it is also difficult to find one earlier);
- UberEats-Delivery by Scooter or Motorbike: uses motorcycles to deliver meals, requiring Full License driver`s license for motorcycles and motorcycles after 1998;
- UberEats-Delivery by Bicycle: delivers meals by bike, as long as he is over the age of 18;
- UberTAXI:, this is for professional taxi drivers.
We are concerned about the third, fourth and fifth, according to their own circumstances, if there is Full License (Chinese driver`s license more than 3 years, after passing the theoretical test and road test can directly take the Full License), to send meals by car, so that in theory, old drivers can get Full License driver`s license in Australia as soon as 1 to 3 months, and foreign students usually do not have this opportunity, so they can only choose to send meals by bike.
Suggestion: if you can use a car, you must choose a car. The limitation of delivering meals by bike is too great. Take me, for example, if you send about six orders a night, you may have to run 50 or 60 kilometers. Bicycles first can`t have this efficiency, and the second is a great test of physical fitness.
Step 3: upload personal and vehicle information, as shown in the figure below (this is after choosing a car to deliver a meal, if you choose a bike to deliver a meal, then you don`t need to upload a driver`s license and car insurance).
From top to bottom, they are:
- Certificate of identification (is usually a passport)
- driving license
- Back of driver`s license
For vehicle information, if you have a car, choose Vehicle Insure, to upload your vehicle insurance policy.
All data upload format can be JPG file, can also be PDF document, must be clear.
Step 4: after uploading all the information, waiting for Uber audit, it usually takes about a week, there will be email notice after passing, and need to go to their office to pick up a delivery heat preservation bag (20 Australian dollars deposit, do not return it to them in the future, and do not have to give it to them on the spot, deducted from the money you earn); If there is no progress for a long time, you can go directly to their office counter and ask for information. Here are the office addresses of each city:
- Sydney: 19 Victoria Ave, Concord West NSW 2138
- Melbourne: 578 Plummer St, Port Melbourne VIC 3207
- Adelaide: 176 Grote St, Adelaide SA 5000
- Gold Coast: 17c/28 Martin St, Brisbane City QLD 4006
- Brisbane:49JohnstonSt, SouthportQLD4215.
- Perth:143 HaySt, Subicaco WA6008.
At this point, our registration work has been completed, as long as the audit passed, we can go on the road. Next, we will introduce the use of Uber APP and how to receive orders and send orders.
The driver who first installed Uber, APP, Android, searched for "Uber Driver" at Google Play Store, Apple and downloaded the installation, using registered mail and password to log in.
Open APP, if your information has passed the audit at this time, you can go to the main interface of the Uber in the figure below, click on the switch in the upper right corner, the status becomes Online, then it is online, and you will receive an order from Uber at any time.
When an order is delivered (explain the order rules of Uber, the Uber order is not robbed by itself, but the system is assigned to an idle driver / courier according to certain rules and algorithms, and the driver has only the option of receiving or not answering). The phone will vibrate and send a sound prompt, indicating that the order restaurant is usually not too far from your current position. You have about 10 seconds to consider whether to pick up the order, if you want to answer the screen, if you do not answer, wait for the prompt to expire, remind that if the reception rate is less than 85%, you may be punished by Uber.
Go to the hotel to withdraw the order, after receiving the order will appear the hotel name and address, some hotels will also include parking location and so on, if there is a good reading to avoid wasting time, and then click on the navigation icon from the software (if you do not know the way), directly open the navigation software for navigation, recommend Google Maps, to the hotel, generally pick it up at the counter. Some will be in the kitchen back door, usually in the App description, explain to the waiter to pick up the Uber order, and approve the order number or guest name, take away;
After the operation in APP confirms receipt of the order, customer information will appear, including name, address, etc., the same can be used navigation, according to the address sent to the line, it is worth mentioning, if there are problems, such as the address is not detailed, you can make a customer call, but Uber, in order to protect the privacy of both parties, is automatically transferred through the Uber phone. You can`t see the real phone call from the guest;
After delivery, remember to confirm delivery in the APP, so far the order has been completed, about a minute in the APP EARNINGS to see your income situation;
The guest will evaluate your service every time, only the positive and the negative, if the good rate is less than 85%(most recent 500), Uber will also stop driving, but my experience is that the Australians are very kind, usually rarely give a bad appraisal;
The price of the order is calculated according to the distance from the hotel to the guest (the distance from the hotel to the guest, the distance from you to the hotel does not affect the price of the order), of course, there is a guaranteed price, and then Uber deducts 30% of the fee, and the rest is what you actually get, and I don`t know if the price per city is the same. Take Adelaide, where I am, for example, Generally, the order of about 3 km is about A $12, while the order of 5 km is about A $14 (all before deducting 30%);
In addition to the basic order income, Uber also often engaged in all kinds of incentive activities, when I first did Uber, there were three nights a week (6pm-9pm), providing 30 Australian dollars per hour guaranteed income (before 30% deduction), but need to do at least 3 orders, and the receiving rate should not be less than 75%; Then they may find it unreasonable and have now been cancelled, and as of this article, the reward rule is that there are several peak periods per day, during which time, an additional 10% to 30% of the awards will be provided in the designated area, and one order will be counted. In addition to regular incentive activities, there are sometimes special activities, such as an additional A $60 as long as you do 20 orders between Friday night and Sunday night, but not many times, if you encounter them, don`t miss them.?
At present, Uber is paid once a week, and you also need to set up your bank account on the website or APP and receive your work every Monday or Tuesday. As the most valuable Internet company by market capitalization, Uber has a reputation, needless to say, and don`t worry about hard-earned money from cagons drivers at junk companies like easy access.

Show took about five days to get my income this week, and then waited at home for about 16 hours to wait at home until the order came out.
At this point, how to register UberEats and how to complete the order on the road, has been all introduced, and how to receive orders more efficiently, each city and each area are different, it needs to rely on everyone to explore, in general, the longer you do, the more you understand the location of the hotel, the more familiar you will be with the location of the hotel, the more efficient you will be and the higher your income will be. There is another point to remind you that UberEats is legal in Australia, but we must remember the traffic regulations when driving, otherwise be fined and deducted points will not be worth the loss, in addition, do not forget to declare their income to do Uber, so as to avoid the consequences of tax evasion and tax evasion; at the same time, it is also a job, also subject to the restrictions of your visa, if your visa is not allowed to work, then you can not do it; And if a student visa can only work less than 20 hours a week, remember not to exceed it. Remember that your online time at Uber can be checked. Don`t lose a lot of money. Finally, click here to start registering.
