The Salary you can expect in Australia will be a big factor in your decision to move to Australia. Generally salaries in Australia are 10-20% less than in your home country – however this very much depends on supply and demand in the area you wish to find work. It is also widely accepted that the cost of living in Australia is substantially less with lower household bills and far cheaper fruit, vegetables and meat grown locally and in abundance.
It is also worth noting that on 7th September 2009 senator Chris Evans, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, announced a requirement that temporary skilled overseas workers are paid market salary rates. This will ensure that subclass 457 visa holders are on the same wages and conditions of employment as those provided to an Australian worker undertaking the same role in the workplace. Employers have until January 2010 to comply or face large fines.
