Tipping in Australia

0-10% typical

How it works

Hospitality staff in Australia are paid a full minimum wage under law, and tipping has never been a required part of dining culture.

How much to tip

No tip is expected. Rounding up the bill or leaving a small amount for outstanding service at a nicer restaurant is appreciated, never required.

In practice

Card terminals in Australia do not typically prompt for a tip, which reflects how uncommon the practice still is outside major tourist areas.
