  • In Sydney we do not have to tip after a meal. However, the general rule is 10% if you are happy with your food and service. I do often tip larger amounts if I feel the service was above standard. The same goes with Taxi's - we do not have to tip, but the general rule is to round up...i.e. Cab ride $35.80 I would give $40.00. Housekeeping in hotels - I just usually leave a few $2.00 -5.00 AUD.

  • I don't think tipping is a way of life in Australia, so it is ok if you forget to tip someone

  • It's not compulsory to tip in Sydney, but it's encouraged whenever you receive good service. 10-15% is adequate. You will not be hassled or treated with disdain if you don't give tips.

  • The general rule in Australia is - don't do it! If you feel you must leave a tip, go ahead and round up but locals generally don't do much more than that. It's not like in the U.S. where wait staff rely on tips for their wages. So don't feel bad. Enjoy your meal and leave it at that.
