How Do I Search?

Searching Access Finder is very simple. All you need to do is click on the What drop down box and select the category that you are interested in.

The Where drop down box allows you to select the State/Territory or the region that you are interested in. Please note that National searches WILL NOT provide search results as there are too many listings.

If you would like to narrow your search down even further simply type a postcode of the suburb.

Once you have selected your category and either selected a State/Territory or typed in a postcode, all that’s left is to click the green search button.
Access Finder will return all listings within the category that you selected.

How Did Access Finder Start?

Access Finder is an initiative of Access Solutions National Pty. Ltd. (ASN). ASN identified a market gap which was highlighted from experiences of frustration and disjointed information.

ASN conceptualised Access Finder in 2004. Due to the large scale project that Access Finder was ASN slowly put the resources together to form the website.

ASN enlisted the expertise of All-Tasks Computer Services to build the concept into what you see and use today.
