I am moving to Melbourne and would like a rough indication of day rates for freelance design work in Oz.
I'm thinking basic studio work, web work and editorial work

Excellent decision on moving to melbourne. Having worked there for 4 months and later in sydney (prefered melbourne) as a interactive designer, the rates ranged from $45-$60per hour.
There are plenty of agencies in melbourne and www.australianinfront.com.au has a listing of OZ design agencies plus freelance job listings in the forum.Good luck with the move. Take your winter gear its cold now.

thanks for that - a good indicator ;-)
where are you from originally then? and why do you prefer Melbourne to Sydney??

any more ideas on australian day rates???

I am biased but Melbourne is more liveable than Sydney.
I love both towns but its Melbourne for me
More culture, more football and better beer on tap.
Those hourly rates are a fair indication but it depends on your skill base

From what I remember there was more of a sydney bent on it thanks mainly to Fox Studios, but there was still a growing band of motion designers down in Melbourne.
You thinking of heading home, v?
