Actually, according to
http://content.mycareer.com.au/salar...0&s_cid=215859, the Australian National Average Salary is $75,012. Personally I think that figure is a little inflated, given it takes in quite a lot of the higher salaries that have come about as a result of the mining/resources boom in different parts of the country, however you can see from the figures there that a salary of $30K to $38K is at the absolute minumum you would expect - and I daresay are most unlikely to come across.
