AU market benchmarks: Most tutoring companies in Melbourne and Sydney charge A$70–120/hr for GCSE-equivalent (VCE/HSC) subjects. Below A$65 and you'll struggle to cover a quality tutor; above A$130 and you're competing with boutique providers.

GST: If your annual turnover exceeds A$75,000, you must register for GST. The rate above should be your ex-GST rate; add 10% for the family-facing price.
