That might be the rate charged to the customer but no ordinary tradie doing mainstream work will get that as an employee for working normal hours. Not even the unions' preferred rates are that high.I don't know any tradies (other than apprentices) that work for less than $60/hr.
"One of the problems we've got in this country is that we've allowed housing developments to occur in areas that are at risk of high flood.
Add to that the bushfire risk and on the East coast it is really becoming a problem, to find a safe housing area.This wake up call has been made many times. I think the latest disaster in NSW will reinforce it with a vengeance.
What will be the consequences of global warming on infrastructure ? How do we ensure that development will survive heightened flood and fire threats ? What impacts can we forsee on the financial institutions that rely on a flourishing property market if that market has serious structural problems?
I commented earlier on the rapid building of high rise apartments whose value will collapse as the buildings deteriorate. Same thing will happen for fire and flood prone areas.
Flood insurance costing $30,000 highlights which areas should not be developed for housing
Thousands of the people enduring the heartbreaking sight of their homes sinking beneath a rising brown tide across the east of NSW are doing so knowing they don't have insurance coverage.
.....'A certain insanity' in development
A concept often overlooked pretty much everywhere outside the mining and energy industries is resource grade.This wake up call has been made many times. I think the latest disaster in NSW will reinforce it with a vengeance.
GP charge about $50 every 4 minutes./*If running a business then you are charging min $100/h.
Because you have to cover:
Quotes
Travel
Times you are not working ( wet days, no work).
On top of the usual business expenses.*/
Sure but however you see this , whether it is indeed required by high costs etc (I do not deny that) , it means an Australian tradie is charging as much as an graduate engineer or scientist/or even a GP by the hour, you do whatever sum you want but this is not sustainable in an open world where hundreds of millions do the same tradie job at around $10 an hour
The cost of life and doing business is the same for a GP/scientist or engineer here than a tradie so the only difference is that the relative standard of living of a tradie in australia is much higher than elsewhere around the world.
And imbalance tend to sort themselves out either by reduction of the tradie rate or overall reduction of the Australian living standard.usually multi-generational shift but will hahappen.
It's up to council to ensure standards are met. You can build over almost anything if its done right.This wake up call has been made many times. I think the latest disaster in NSW will reinforce it with a vengeance.

What a $30,000 annual insurance bill is telling us is not necessarily that we need socialised home and contents insurance, rather that an awful lot of housing has been built where it probably shouldn't have been, or hasn't been built in a way to suit its location.
"We've now got more than a hundred years of data, we really understand where land floods in this country, and we need to be doing more in ensuring that data is available and governments are making the right land planning decisions," Mr Hall argued.
If your insurance bill is $30,000 per year it's sending a message – don't live there
State and local governments continue to allow development in flood-prone areas they know are practically uninsurable, and prospective owners don't always even need to be made aware of the risks.www.abc.net.au
I still believe a gp will bring home less than a tradie per hour worked.GP charge about $50 every 4 minutes.
They will often charge extra.
Engineering business charge huge sums.
An engineer can make a decent wage with no risk if he has a job. He can charge excessively if he owns a business.
Tradies run a business that is unpredictable and risky. It's a business. People need to distinguish between take home money and business money.
I can see a doctor for $6 get a meal for $2 and the weekly shop for $40 in another country. Yes it's expensive as sht in this country. As it is in most of the western world.
What’s the going rate for an employee GP?I still believe a gp will bring home less than a tradie per hour worked
GP charge about $50 every 4 minutes.
I can assure you the majority don't. Doctor can work as late as he likes. Can do it till he is 80 yo. And there ain't many tradies driving BMW's. I've worked for multiple gps, specialists, surgeon's and they all enjoyed the advantages of being loved by banks. Banks hated tradiesI still believe a gp will bring home less than a tradie per hour worked.
Different obviously if you own the business but same for tradies
About half that number usually bas.Really ? Like $750 an hour ( $50 x 15 )
Would you like to recheck that and then consult the Medicare schedules for GPs.
Private GPs will charge more of course .

About half that number usually bas.
Most earn roughly $200-300k a year and with extra shifts it's $500k it's what now $40 something bucks per consultation bulk billed and $85 when they charge?
Oh and you still have to cut out the expenses. That's not take home pay.
I still wouldn't want their life either.

Professional attendance by a general practitioner at consulting rooms (other than a service to which another item in the table applies), lasting less than 20 minutes and including any of the following that are clinically relevant:lasting less than 20 minutes
I will add to that, ask people if they can recommend a tradesman, people will soon tell you if they have had a bad tradesman work on their place.Best advice I can give anyone with tradies is forget price.
If you find anyone who does a top notch job and the reason you're hiring them is to do work on a place you own well then just pay their price. One quote and give them the job, no "three quotes" nonsense.
Reason = there's an awful lot of shoddy ones around.
I'm half way through helping someone rebuild a carport.
Long story short, you really shouldn't secure structural timber that holds the roof up using two tek screws. Oh no you shouldn't, that's a really, really bad idea.
Not a good idea to install mismatched roofing profiles either, especially not if you can't even be bothered to put any proper flashing between them. Funny thing is, there's enough sheets of the correct profile roofing stashed behind the shed.....
Roofing screws need a washer under them too. Otherwise there's a problem when stuff, known as rain, falls from the sky.
Also exposed steel needs to be galvanized or otherwise protected from corrosion. See point above about "rain" - it's a real thing yes.
Don't put timber straight in the ground either. Stick food in front of the termites and strangely enough they eat it.
Someone was paid to build that that.
No doubt with the property price frenzy there'll be some similarly shoddy work being done, leaving some surprises for whoever buys the place. There are good tradies of course, but a boom means the bad ones have no trouble getting work too.....
All my engineer buddies are multi millionaires so I'm the wrong guy to argue with. One actually said he got rich by buying big expensive equipment. Where as anyone could buy a hammer and drill.https://www.redbankmedical.com.au/jobs so first search result up to 2k..up to ok...
Then 71% of billing so up to 1.4k a day, remember up to..
Now who pays the public liability insurance, want to compare that with a tradie..or the cost of tool of the tradie?
At the very least comparable..i am not gp
And i know as a graduate engineer, after 5y uni, and not years of gender studies,you get around 800$ a day of on your own as contractor, or 70k a year in a job in your first years as i say comparable to a tradie.australian tradies are well better paid than other o/s tradies simply due to the fact we do not have millions of illegal immigrants ready to do the job for half.
I think that was the idea of the original post and i agree.
That will not change here until a labour gov opens the gates a la Biden.and so re will remain high for aistralians
and to compare vs other western countries, assuming this is proper figures but seems reasonable:I will add to that, ask people if they can recommend a tradesman, people will soon tell you if they have had a bad tradesman work on their place.
Do your research and know what you actually want done, there is no point being vague about the job, or they will be vague about the price.
