Plumbers wages
Hi
Can anyone tell me what a plumber earns in Australia. We are due to move there in Jan/Feb, and having trouble finding this out. Thanks

Hi there.......
You need to be a bit more specific ......what state are we talking about here?
Where we are ( Kingscliff , tweed coast , NSW/QLD border)
Union rate for a plumber working on wages(direct) its about $24 per hr.
Self employed ....around $35-40 an hour.
If your running your own little company , you can get away with charging anything between $45-65 per hour.
Note.....just remember that when you get here your only be able to apply for a provisional plumbers licence , to start with.
This means you are only able to work direct for some one, under supervision , hence the name of the licence.
hope this helps....all the best plum.....

I read recently Tasmania was short of gasfitters.
Quite a few of the plumbers who arrive here in SE Qld earn nothing as qualification recognition is not straight forward, even with a licence employers aren't always willing to give someone a start without experience.
I'd suggest you do a search and have a read of other posts on plumbers.
