The value of Australian sole traders as an alternative to temporary, cheap and imported foreign contractors.

Australians are a multiethnic people, our Australian culture rejects political authoritarianism, political censorship & hierarchical class-based systems. Australia is a democracy, we vote for our leaders like how a real country should. Australia invests in educating our people and we have some of the most renowned educational institutions and skilled people on the planet.

Many Australian professionals trained in our renowned educational institutions work as sole traders. Such professionals include technicians, engineers, accountants, personal trainers, developers, constructors, electricians, plumbers, truck drivers, etc. These professionals charge fair and marketable rates for the skilled services that they provide.

Australia has a strong currency, when compared with many other nations. This means that temporary foreign contractors who are citizens of countries that have weaker currencies can convert their AUD earnings into the weaker currency and end up with a greater relative value, this is a legitimate form of currency arbitrage. Unfortunately, some temporary foreign contractors can exploit this benefit by offering far below marketable rates so they can undercut the local competition from Australian sole traders

However, Australian sole traders, offer better value that far exceeds the short-term cost cuttings when engaging with cheap imported labor. Australian professionals are trained to Australian standards, we understand Australian safety regulations, codes and practices of the industry. Australian professional sole traders are insured and we are accountable. We reside in this country, we cant just break, infiltrate or sabotage something then disappear overseas without a trace.

Australian sole traders are citizens of this country, this means we can take time to fully understand your business needs and goals. We are more efficient, you only need to explain your business goals and needs to one local professional, not multiple temporary workers on a rotational basis. We are trained by some of the worlds most renowned and verified educational institutions. We are not here just to make a quick buck then disappear overseas. We are here to stay, we take our professions as sole traders seriously, we support the Australian economy, and we are Australian made.
