I'm not saying 75K isn't a liveable amount of money, dependent on your circumstances it may well be, its more to do with what's the going rate. Also six months probation is unusual, but perhaps that to do with the sponsorship process.

I know of a civil guy (transport), offered $120K plus relocation costs from UK and four weeks accomadation costs upon arrival (no visa as he's an ozzie) in Brisbane, similar amount of experience. PM me for details.

I would say that they are offering you the bottom end of the salary scale. I am actually doing a comparison in the construction industry at the moment, and that is very low. Bearing in mind there is a huge shortage over here for skilled people (and I mean huge- what sector you in?). The relocation package is low. Are they paying accom, hire car etc on top of this? They have also got you on a 6mth probationary period, is this tied into anything else in your contract?

To OP: You'll get a lot more that $4,500 pe rmonth once you add in LAFHA. For a single guy in Melbourne LAFHA would be around $29,300 per year. Have a look here: http://www.payme.com.au/living-away-...nce-lafha.html

Scroll down for the LAFHA allowances. LAFHA reduces your taxable salary, i.e. you end up with a considerably higher net salary.

Hi there,

I've just received an offer!!!! Yeah!!! Could I gather information from anyone here and see if it's alright.

Basic salary incl superannuation $75000. I think the contribution for it is 9% hence I will get $68250. 20 days annual leave, medicare and life insurance paid for. Probational period of 6 month. $2000 relocation fees, 2 flight tickets.

I will be getting LAFHA but I have no idea what figure I'm looking at per month. I'm trying to work out how much income per week after tax I will be getting but it seems too complicated to work out.

Can someone contribute some idea pleaseeeeee? Or perhaps give me some break down figure?

Thank you soooo much!!!

DaN
