Question

How much is the average hourly rate in Australia?

Answer 1

depends on ones  occupation

Answer 2

Quite poor. $15 per hour if your'e lucky. The place is overun with temporary agencies too. Slave labour merchants. The only way to be in oz is self employed with something to sell them. Their work ethic is appalling basically. No matter what skills you may have australia expects you to retrain at your own expense then join the casual job rat race. You won't get rich in australia and the $AU is not valuable elsewhere so you risk becoming financially locked into the place, unless you are very smart. The facade of australian life is very superficial I can assure you. Good weather and that's all. Best of luck.

Answer 3

Minimum award wages for non-casual workers are around $522.00 for a 38 hour week or $13.74 per hour. Casual rate is $16.49 per hour.

The average wage across all occupations is around $1100 per week but that will vary enormously between occupations and locations.
