Earnings
- Australia’s mininum wage is AUD $21.38/hour. Based on Australia’s laws, individuals under 21 can be paid less but there is a high demand for seasonal employees so there are normally many opportunities to earn upwards of AUD $22/hour.
- Some jobs may adjust pay if accommodation is included, for example at resorts. In such cases, the accommodation provided is usually much more afforable than booking your own.
- Please note that it can take a few weeks to get set up with a job and you will want to have ample time to travel and enjoy Australia! Please budget accordingly.
