Alrededor del 53 por ciento de todos los salarios de Australia y de los trabajadores de sueldos pertenecen a los sindicatos, que tienen una imagen muy positiva en el país. Debido a una combinación de la acción sindical y el derecho laboral, los trabajadores reciben prestaciones de desempleo y enfermedad, indemnización por las lesiones sufridas por trabajo, salarios básicos y premios marginal y sociales generales y los beneficios de salud. Un salario básico o mínimo, se estableció por ley en 1907.
