Salaries in Cairns??
 

Hi,

Somebody I know has asked me to get some info for them. Her husband has been offered a job in Cairns via sponsership. The wage offered was in around the 85k AUD mark. I know nothing about Cairns and the cost of living there........Would this be considered a good wage there? - They have one child and one on the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated as they have to make a decision soon. Many thanks in advance. :)

Yes, $85K in Cairns will be fine for 2 adults / 2 kids. :)

Hi,

I'm not 100 percent sure exactly what the position is but he is an electrician and has a Bachelors in Electrical Building Design. I will find out.

I think this offer came out of the blue so to speak and I know that they can apply for pr...........................

They were just wondering if it was a good wage before they consider upping sticks and heading off. Sounds promising though so thank you - I will let them know .

My wife will be getting around $48k + shift allowances as a Psychiatric Nurse

85k is an excellent wage for Cairns.

I would be happy with 50K but there is not much call for IT here!

Mind you, getting in to quite a routine with the kids now and school runs etc. Just need to sort out some coffee mornings soon! :rolleyes:

My wife on the other hand has been working flat out though.
