If so, we have good news for you. We have compiled a guide that provides valuable information on the highest-paying trades in Australia and how much tradies can expect to earn. Aussie tradies earn famously good money, so read on to learn more in our tradie salary guide for 2022. WHY DO AUSSIE TRADIES EARN SO MUCH? As the building and construction industry is a vital part of the Australian economy, you may have heard that becoming a tradie is a good career path because there’s plenty of work and there are high salaries. In Australia, tradie salaries are right up there with doctors and bankers. Recent figures even show that 1 in 10 tradies earns over $200,000 per year. For anyone who likes working with their hands and prefers not to study at university, that’s a great career outcome. But why is it that tradies earn so much in Australia? Like teachers and nurses and many other classic professions, tradies are and always will be an essential job. As long as we live in buildings, tradies will be in demand and there will continue to be plenty of jobs in the construction industry. TRADIE AVERAGE SALARY GUIDE 2022 Ever wondered which are the top earning trades professions? We’ve picked a few top professions to help you compare. The salaries below represent the average wage of the whole profession. Across all of these different trades, there are both higher and lower-earning tradies. A tradie’s unique salary will depend on factors like: * * Level of training Tradies that have done apprenticeships can earn more. This is because they perfect their trade under supervision with the help of one or more expert tradespeople. * Highest certificate achieved Certificates and diplomas make a big difference when it comes to tradie salaries. The more qualifications you have, the greater the salary you can get. * Years in the business Generally, the longer you’ve been working your trade, the better at it you will be and the higher rates you can charge. * Location Tradies earn different amounts depending on which town or city they are in. While it’s generally true that city tradies earn more, some country tradies can earn a lot too depending on the town and what else is in the area.

One way to help you decide is by doing a Certificate II in Construction Pathways (CPC20211). In this course, you can sample many different types of trade work and see which one you enjoy the most. STEP 2: START AN APPRENTICESHIP Do an apprenticeship in your chosen trade by starting a certificate III with a building school like Builders Academy Australia. In your apprenticeship, you can be a full-time worker for an employer in your chosen trade while studying your cert 3 at night. For example, when you start a Certificate III in Carpentry (CPC30220) with us, we will connect you with an employer for your apprenticeship. STEP 3: GET A LICENCE Once you’ve completed your certificate 3 and your apprenticeship, you’ll be a fully qualified tradie. You might like to work for a while, or alternatively, you could build on your qualifications to earn a higher profit. You might like to do this by getting a builders registration from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). When you do a Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Building) (CPC40120), you get a free mentorship to help you apply for the builders licence. STEP 4: TAKE YOUR CAREER TO THE NEXT LEVEL Another way to increase your earnings as a tradie is by adding to your qualifications. By doing a Diploma of Building and Construction (Building) (CPC50220), you’ll learn how to manage mid-rise domestic building projects. When you do a certificate 4 or a diploma, you’ll be able to do supervisor or manager in construction, which pays more money than working on the tools as a regular tradie. High-level construction jobs like site supervisor or site manager are abundant in Victoria, and workers with these skills are in high demand.
