Across the categories shown, typical rates range from around $27 per hour for Retail and Hospitality up to $41 for Community and Social Services. Most hourly roles sit somewhere between.
For most award-based categories, no. Award rates apply regardless of location, and local employers typically pay at or near the award. Melbourne pulls ahead mainly in CBD-based professional and corporate roles, which don't feature heavily in Gippsland listings.
