    Australian contractor community

    I spent a few years in the UK working as an IT contractor. Found this forum useful, although I was only lurking, not posting.

    Now I'm back in Australia. Looking for a similar community here. I've done a few searches, but haven't found anything much.

    Can any Aussie expats recommend any forums?

    All the Austrailian contractors I've met in UK say there aren't many opportunities for contracting back home. Could that explain the dearth of COZ forums down under?

      I think contracting as we know it in Oz became a lot less attractive when they brought in the 80/20% rule. As a contractor you pay full PAYE is how I understand it. Mind you, at over Aus$ 1000 a day (oil and gas jobs) it is a lucrative business I reckon.
