how much do tradies make

Ah, the age-old question about tradie wages Down Under. On average, tradies in Australia rake in between $50,000 and $90,000 AUD annually, depending on their trade, experience, and location. Some top-tier tradies, especially those in mining or specialist fields, can pocket over $100,000 AUD. Entry-level apprentices might start on much less, often under $40,000 AUD. Of course, these figures can swing wildly depending on overtime, union agreements, and the ever-elusive demand for skilled hands.
