Carpenter wage v cost of living


em&paul

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

OH is a chippy and we're looking at Perth.

I looked at the Aussiemove.com site and its quoting cost of living in Perth $1153 per week with a mortage - seems to have gone up recently

OH has been told that working he is looking at $30 per hour

 

Does anyone think this is about right for both??

 

Also if I work out there I would like to work in a pre-scool or kindergarten. Does anyone know what an average hourly rate would be? I'm doing my qualification now.

 

Thank you.:goofy:

 

Emma

Hi

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Since we posted this thread we've been going round and round in circles trying to weigh up the pros and cons of the best places to live, work etc in Oz and we've finally settled on Tasmania.

 

I eventually rang a few recruitment agencies and companies direct to get an idea of hourly rates for carpenters but such a wide difference all over.

 

See you on 1st June.

 

Emma

Hi Emma i was reading a thread earlier that stated that there is not alot of call for carpenters in perth don't know if anyone else can shed any light on this:notworthy:, i notice you have now decided on Tasmania. in the begining we had decided gold coast but hubby a bit worried about working in the humidity so choose perth, but now maybe reconsidering GC as property (so we have been told) are all timber framed and wages are meant to be higher.

good luck,Lou.
