thanks wendy, you always seem to be in the know:)
I work with an aussie who said that the wages are better back home(her home) but from other threads i've read have felt about the same wages or maybe a little more. even a flat rate of $30/35000 would be good then plus tips etc. earned a heck of a lot less when i was working full time at a 'named' salon. tips boost it though. need to find out more info. on all these supers and and what to look for when offered jobs WHEN (being always optimistic) we get the visa, still waiting.

thanking you

Some employers will say salary + super, and some will say salary including super. Super goes straight into your nominated scheme, so obviously if it's including super you need to deduct the appropriate amount off of the salary to get your yearly income amount.
