The rates are usualy piece work, I myself have been earning around $500 per day laying commercial vinyl. You will find lots of work if you can do a bit of everything as the layers out here seem to only do one thing i.e a carpet layer does not do vinyls,,a vinyl layer does not do carpets,a laminate layer doesnt do anything but laminate. Most of the stores I have dealt with are always looking for good reliable fitters as there seems to be a shortage ,especialy if you can do everything. Until I came out here I never toutched karndean,but have also been layingthis,,straight lay is around $12 per metre but your average job is 120m2 plus! and the prep is a lot easier than back home as the floors are in better condition.

I dont know about he rest of australia but the rates in Adelaide are comparible with what I was getting in the UK a couple of years ago,,the work is quite different though as every job is usualy a full house of either carpet,vinyl or laminate/floatig floors. I have only done 2 hsl's in 2 years but there is usualy lots of seaming to do as all of the carpet here is 12foot wide and most of the rooms are a lot biggger than that. You dont get crappy broken up ashphalt floors or rotting timber floors in ancient properties like you do in the uk so remedial work is usualy quite minimal, and they don't use doortrims like in the UK ,most doorways have to be seamed up. There is plenty of comercial work available as well,,in fact I have been working on the same job since july last year,sadly this is coming to an end ut there are lots of other big projects if thats your thing. Hope this helps!
