Unlike Europe and
America, the practice of tipping for restaurant or hotel service is not
mandatory. If you are very happy with the service you have received then a tip
will be gratefully accepted, but never feel that you have to tip as it is not
expected.
There is a minimum wage in Australia but people working long shifts can get as
little as $8 an hour. If they are good to you and give excellent service then a
small tip will help supplement a rather low income. Never tip for poor or
mediocre service as it merely encourages poor performance.
By the same token if the service is awful then don't hesitate to complain to the
management - except in Halls Creek where complaints are completely ignored.
