Self Employed Duties & Salary in Australia

In Australia, being self-employed offers individuals the opportunity to work independently and manage their own business. With a diverse economy and a strong entrepreneurial culture, there are numerous work opportunities for self-employed workers throughout the country. For instance, in Melbourne, Victoria's capital city, there is a thriving arts and culture scene, providing opportunities for self-employed artists, photographers, and designers. In Sydney, the financial hub of Australia, self-employed professionals such as consultants and financial advisors can find a wealth of clients.

The main duties of a self-employed worker in Australia vary depending on the field. Common tasks include managing finances, marketing services, maintaining client relationships, and delivering high-quality work. One exciting fact is that Australia has a vibrant coffee culture, so self-employed baristas can thrive in cities like Melbourne and Sydney, where locals appreciate a good cup of coffee.

Key skills and experience required for self-employment in Australia include excellent time management, strong communication skills, and self-motivation. Depending on the industry, specific qualifications and licenses may also be necessary. For example, self-employed tradies (tradespeople) in Australia, such as plumbers or electricians, need to hold the appropriate licenses and certifications.

In terms of the expected salary range or hourly rate, it can vary greatly depending on the field and level of experience. As a general range, self-employed workers in Australia can earn anywhere from AUD 30 to AUD 150 per hour, or even more in specialized fields.

* Please note that the salary figures may vary based on experience & location. Salary figures & rate ranges last updated Nov 2023.

I would like to partner with gigexchange, how do I do that? arrow-right
At the gigexchange, we are all about our customers. If you believe you can empower our customer’s win-win, then please contact us.
What is the difference between a fixed price & negotiable gig? arrow-right
When you set a fixed price gig, the price is non-negotiable, so anyone applying for the gig agrees to the price set in the gig listing. Negotiable gigs have no price set on the listing, but allow the gig lister and gig workers to negotiate through the private chat portals. Once an agreement is made, the scope or works and price is updated on the gig listing and agreed to by both gig lister and worker. With a negotiable gig, you can also make a change to the scope of the gig once it is in flight. Please note, any new price is just for the additional work, not the total value of the old and new.
