Test Manager. The rates I've seen are around $1000 - $1200 per day, about the same as London.
I plan to use a management company (umbrella equivalent) and will be claiming LAFH allowance. I've had a detailed quote which gives me about 64% net - after all taxes and deductions, the same as I get in the UK. I've also contacted agencies and they say they'll have no problems placing me.

Speaking for myself, Java/C++ in the banks in London is 550-600 per day average. Here its $80-$85/hr, which is about 300-320 quid per day. Plus the tax rates are higher here, the tax system is a lot tighter and the 80/20 rule harder to dodge - so you will be paying more tax than in the UK.
I know of a few contractors getting London rates here in Sydney but they are in extremely niche roles - they've basically been brought over from the UK/NYC - because locals did not have the skills.Comment
