You should know by now advert posters rarely come back on and answer queries. Email them and ask – and then come back and tell everyone else 🙂

Somebody, based in Asia, recently advised me that they were offered work in Oz but it was most certainly not Oz rates. After working out what was on offer they declined to take the work.

Check the rate and work out where you will be after deduction of all taxes etc. before you enter into any agreement.

My apologies on not responding sooner, as you can imagine I was inundated with queries.

As we are a recruitment agency, discussions about rates/ benefits etc do come further down the track, when the company and candidate have had a chance to assess. However, any advice is always welcome, and who knows better than the people doing the work?

I have also been advised that the company are now willing to take on individuals (such as electrical, mechanical etc) that have the technical background, but not the offshore experience.

I would suggest that anyone working in Oz needs to be on agreed Uni0n rates and pay the same tax as any Oz citizen would. This evens the playing field and saves on offshore grief/discussions over different rates for similar positions.

.

I suggest even this should be checked out. The last time I paid Oz tax the scheme for non residents meant I was not given the tax-free threshold and had to pay tax from dollar 1, starting on the second tier of the tax percentages. This was for the 06/07 tax year, not that long ago. This meant a tax bill of around AUD$26k, when a resident would have paid around AUD$23K. Not a lot of difference, but it is a lot of pints of beer

Yeh, soon as I mentioned my ROV Supervisor Rate in Australia – AU$1420 a day – when she called me, she went oh!!

Obviously the reason they dropped the standard to "people with trades but no offshore experience can apply"

Good luck to them..

You don’t happen to work onshore as a ROV Support Engineer do you?
