Question 1

Do you tip in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Tipping is not expected or required in Australia. Unlike the US, Australian workers receive a living minimum wage ($23.23/hour) plus penalty rates. Tips are appreciated for exceptional service but are entirely optional.

Question 2

How much should I tip in Australia?

Accepted Answer

If you choose to tip, 10% of the bill is considered generous in Australia. Many people simply round up to the nearest $5 or $10. At cafes, leaving small change is common. There is no obligation to tip.
