How it works
1
Browse & shortlist
Rich profiles with photos, video and verified reviews — filter by role, availability and trust tier.
2
Offer & confirm
Send an offer for the role and hours you need; chat, agree, and confirm with secure card payment.
3
Run the night
Talent check in on arrival, safety tooling runs through the shift, and funds release after the event wraps.
Safety is the product
Every person on the platform is government-ID verified. Talent check in and out of every shift with an emergency contact on file, can share their live location with the VIPMate safety team during a booking — never with hosts — and an escalation path fires if a check-out is missed. Reviews are double-blind, so neither side sees the other's words until both are in.

Questions, answered
- Is VIPMate available in Melbourne?
- Melbourne is on our expansion roadmap. VIPMate is live in Sydney today; create your account now and you'll be ready the moment we launch locally.
- Are the staff vetted?
- Every talent completes government-ID verification before they can work, and every profile is human-reviewed before it becomes visible to hosts. Trust tiers are earned through completed bookings and double-blind reviews.
- How does payment work?
- Hosts pay securely by card through Stripe when a booking is confirmed. Every price is GST-inclusive and itemised before you commit, and funds are only released to talent after the event completes.
- What does it cost to join?
- Joining is free for both hosts and talent — no subscriptions, ever. Hosts see a simple flat booking fee itemised before confirming; talent pay a commission only on work they actually win, and keep 100% of tips.
- What kind of events does VIPMate staff?
- Nightlife is our home turf — but the same vetted talent works corporate functions, brand activations, product launches, private dinners and celebrations.
