Re: New to this......heading to Brissy May

Re: Contracting in Oz

Thanks for your replies guys.

From what I can see the rates are between 3 and 7 % (damn ridiculous if you ask me) from Contract Management companies whereas it's around 1 % in the UK from umbrella...

Re: Dollar is weakening again...
