I'm just a bit intrigued by the rate, as a mercenary contractor/consultant < grin > , is this a typical rate for Australia ?

Colin: As I live in Sydney I think I can speak with some authority. $80k is about $40/hr over 12 months. That's a little low if you are in Sydney or Melbourne, but good elsewhere. I'd say $60+/hr is more like it in Syd/Melb. If the job is in Sydney, the cost of living is high but you will be OK if you just plan to rent a place. Forget about a car. However, Sydney has one of the worst rail networks in the world (affectionately known as Shityrail - http://www.shityrail.com). Buses aren't much better. So, make sure you live close to work. Melbourne is a nicer city - better food, shopping, arts, etc. - but Sydney has nicer weather and good beaches. Brisbane is a dump. Adelaide is about 20 years behind the rest of us. Perth...dunno. Oh yeah, there's Tasmania but God help you if that's where the job is.
There is also a thing called superannuation. It's sort of like social security in America. Not sure what the UK version is called. It's a 9% government-mandated retirement contribution that employers pay on behalf of employees. However, if you are a temporary resident you can get it when you leave (http://www.ato.gov.au/superprofessionals/content.asp?doc=/content/29527.htm)
May the force be with you.

Last time I checked australian contract jobs, one of the requirements was being a resident. If you're not, you'd need to apply for immigration and pass all those requirements. And the whole process could take many months.
Has anyone done that?
