On this website it says the average dentist who has their own practice earns over $350,000 per year.

Anyways questions:

1. Does this seem true? If not how much does an average practice earn (General dentist)?

2. How much does a fresh dentist earn as an associate?

3. Do dentists who own their practice pay the corporate tax of 30% in Australia or personal income tax of 45%?

Thanks.

According to this website national minimum wage of Australia is pretty high ($15.51/hr) which is 1.5-2 times higher than North America (Canada/US). These off-set factors may be one of explanations for such high reported salary. But from past posting, many people said starting wage for GD in Aus is

1) 60-80K for government sector
2) 90~100K for private sector (in rural area? I can't fully recall...)

I don't know any much better than you about Aus and in fact I would like to know more about it...
I guess we have to both wait for the reliable reply!

Yeah government sector is that low but I know someone personally no experience went Australia from UK and has a job at 150k/year first year so private sector thing can't be right. Hopefully someone with some knowledge in this can give some insight.

Moral of the story: Australia and China are joined at the hip.As long as China stimulates her economy with fiscal stimulus, Australian miners and healthcare providers should do ok....
