Tipping and Prices: TIPPING: is seen as optional...
  • Tip Rating:
  • TIPPING: is seen as optional courtesy depending on the expense of a meal and/or quality of the service. Australia has minimum wage standards higher than most countries so that staff do not rely on the tips of customers. The most common tipping is for restaurants and taxi drivers. It may be to round up a bill or including loose change, or to make a large bill easily divisable in a group (eg, everybody contributes $20 if the split equals $17.80 each). In better quality restaurants it is considered correct to leave a 10-15% tip. A taxi fare may be $16 dollars, but giving $20 is easy and there's no fumbling for change.
