A captain in the Australian Army in 2018/19 earns between AUD$70,334 and AUD$130,704. Armed services salaries are tax-free, so that's not a terrible salary compared to the median in Australia of ~AUD$85k before tax or ~$65k after tax. https://www.defence.gov.au/payandconditions/ADF/Resources/WRA.pdf https://www.defence.gov.au/payandconditions/ADF/Resources/WR... https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/mf/6302.0 https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/mf/6302.0

> Armed services salaries are tax-free In Australia, only reservists get tax-free pay, and only when they're not on full-time duty. I think some of the additional military allowances are tax free for full-timers, but not base salary.
