The three-year allowance does not have to be consecutive and can be taken at any time up until the age of 35. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65960126 At the end of the article it compares the minimum wage in Australia (currently $21.38 / £11.22) with the UK's minimum wage standing at £10.42, for those aged over 23. It's interesting just how much this gap has closed in recent years due to increases in the UK's minimum wage and a stronger pound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as those people planning to come here realise Australia isn't the land of milk and honey. The cost of living here is just as bad and maybe even higher for some things than the UK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
