Things worth knowing as an IMG.
General information only. Nothing on this page is saved.

Tax residency
Resident rates and foreign-resident rates are different. The tax office page is the test. This site does not decide it.
Pay by state
A supervised role is paid from the state award or agreement, not from a national salary.
Moving here
The abroad page is a sketch of tax and cost, not a visa.
Soon
Super
An employer pays 12% on ordinary earnings. It is preserved until the published age.
A first-year budget
Rent, registration and a phone plan land before the first full payslip.
Moving between states later
Duty and the award both reset when the state changes.
Often missed
HELP, if a later Australian degree exists
A repayment only starts once repayment income crosses the published line.
Medicare levy surcharge
Hospital cover changes the surcharge. The tax page has the switch. It does not say to buy a policy.
A rough figure — not advice. Terms
Advertisement — labelled, never inside the number.
