Salary of in-demand Jobs in Australia

  Maria Theresa S. Samante,  Apr 14, 2007

Alongside of working overseas is the salary for budgeting purposes. Foreign workers who want to land a job in Australia wonder how much they would earn in their chosen profession. Now, you don’t have to think since the Hays Salary Survey has released the salary of jobs included in the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL).

 

The Hays Salary Survey 2006 shows the annual salary as well as the average weekly wage of every occupation; professional, associate professional and trades persons.

 

The MODL is reviewed every six months or twice a year. This doesn’t mean that the list of job changes everytime the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) make an update. The list would only be changed if there’s a development with the labor market trend.

 

Here is the salary guide for the MODL as of September 2006:
