Working Culture

Working Culture in Australia

Thousands of people from overseas successfully relocate to work in Australia each year and take advantage of the great benefits and working conditions.

Most people working in Australia have between 4 and 6 weeks annual holiday each year as well as long service leave. 35 – 40 is the average number of hours people work in Australia and your employer is bound by law to contribute 9% of your gross salary into a retirement fund.

Working conditions in Australia are generally much better than many developed countries because of the high percentage of the working population in Australia being members of a union. Employment and working conditions are strictly legislated in Australia through the workplace relations act 1996.

People who have made the move who now work in Australia talk about the relaxed and friendly working environment and how the lifestyle gives you a much better work life balance.
