I don't know what the entry level contracting rate is in Australia but I
would guess AUD$4,000 per month pre-tax. Competent developers can
usually get $6k to $8k per month or more if they do short term contracting.
That is expensive and hurts startups unless sweat-equity is involved.

Hi,
Just my two cents worth on this (albeit slightly off topic) - it's not
all about technical ability or the industry you are working in.
Most clients are willing to pay that extra premium for contractors who
are able to manage expectations and go above and beyond.
I've seen many great developers with amazing skills go unnoticed,
primarily because they don't know how to handle clients, clear and
concise communication plays a huge part in pricing.
The other problem is that the market is flooded with charlatans, who
are driving the prices up and make it even more diluted for the rest
of us.
You also have to remember that many people don't factor in project
management and sales/phone calls into the hourly rate - they simply
absorb the costs - which further drives it down.
Cut a long story short though, I personally think that around
£1700/month after tax is the 'sweet spot' for any developer (assuming
you're not in the city). Anything beyond that is a bonus :)

Raphael,
According to another topic -- some developers are being paid
roughly $20/hour. It's under a post by Cal Lemmings where he is
trying to hire some entry level developer(s). You might be able
to use that information as well. I just thought I'd let you know.
