Hi everyone,

I'm hoping somebody can help me figure out what the wages are like for plumbers in australia. I don't mind working for someone else to begin with. I have worked on building contracts for years but they're few and far between now. So basically how much can I expect to earn?

I would reckon on $20 - $25 an hour.

Payscales are determind by the gov for employees and were set at just under $20 an hour in Queensland. Full list of wage rates and allowances: http://www.mpmsaa.org.au/images/stories/pdf/Pay%20Scales%20Southern%20States%20October%202008. pdf
