I'm based it on 40 hour week and your right 52 week year but I find with contract positions that u earn a little bit more due to workload(having said that I have only contracted in private industry not government agency.
My girlfriend has just started a full time position earning
$105k aud which works out at approx $60k-$65k.
Current financial accountants here can now earn $60AUD ph(market has really moved in last 3 months partly due to no backpackers)
Last year,I only worked 35 weeks earning about $65k AUD,main reason I could do this is cost of living is really cheap.
I couldn't go back to Ireland on full time basis,great country but its' just too expensive at the moment not just house prices.
Another reason is I like the lifestyle in sydney
Drink,transport,restaurants etc are double the price of sydney but wages are closely aligned to sydney-in fact it amazes me how people survive at home because everybody seems to be going on a couple of holidays a year
