Australian salary guide
How pay is structured across trades, mining and transport.
Pay is quoted hourly for casual and Labour Hire work, and annually for permanent salaried roles. Casual rates include a loading because there is no paid annual leave.
Superannuation (retirement contributions) is paid by the employer on top of your wage and is legally required.
Mining and remote FIFO roles typically sit well above metropolitan trade rates, reflecting rosters and location.
Always confirm whether a quoted rate is before tax, whether allowances are included, and how travel and accommodation are handled.
