FAQs

What is market research?
Businesses and organisations want to understand what people think about products, services and everyday issues. Research gives you the chance to share your experiences and opinions.

What kinds of research can I do?
Projects may include online interviews, group discussions, product testing, shopping activities or research completed at home.

Where does it take place?
Some projects are online and open to people across Australia. Others are held in person at a specified location. Each invitation explains who can apply and where the research takes place.

Do I have to apply for every project?
No! Only apply for projects that interest you and suit your availability. There’s no need to reply if you’re not interested.

Does applying mean I’m booked in?
No. Each project has specific requirements, and we may need a mix of participants. You’re only booked once we confirm your place directly.

How much will I receive?
The incentive varies depending on the project. The amount, payment method and payment timeframe will be explained before you agree to participate.

How long does research take?
It depends on the project. We’ll tell you the expected duration before you apply.

What do I need for online research?
Check the project invitation for device and internet requirements. You’ll usually need a quiet location where you can participate without interruptions.

How often can I participate?
Many projects require a gap of at least six months since your last research session. Requirements vary, so please tell us about any recent participation when you apply.

Can I invite friends and family to join?
Absolutely! Please share our website or Facebook page with anyone who may be interested. Each person should register their own details.
