Re: the official jobs/wages thread...

Simple terms, it's where you can pay things like mortgage or car loan repayments out of your pay before the tax man gets to it.

So say you earn $4000 a month, but can salary sacrifice your...

Electrician - between $20 and $25 per hour while waiting for a licence, $25 - $35 with a full licence. Obviously more if you are a contractor.

Take a look in the electricians forum for more info...

Re: the official jobs/wages thread...

I based it on the assumption that you were single, so took an extra 1% medicare levy off your total income (or $1,000).

If you are a family you can have a combined income of $100k before you pay...

That works out approx $1350 per week after tax, that assumes you are single and do not have private health cover.

Whether or not that is a good wage really depends, and because I do not live in...

I think you will be alright on that - we currently get around $2200 on average and manage fine. Although you will have to be a bit more careful than us as it can be expensive at first, mainly because...

Super is Superannuation, and yes it's a pension. If you work for an employer, they have to pay this to a fund of your choice and the minimum they can pay is 9%. Some jobs will say including super (so...

Re: the official jobs/wages thread...

Have just been looking for you. I didn't have any joy, but thought this might interest you ;)

Apply, and see what the salary is. You might also get a job out of it before you come over :)

There is a job in brisbane advertising $40 - $50k per year, plus super. It's the only one I could find with a salary mentioned, but it should give you some idea. :)
