I've never seen it written so neatly

For context, I've lived in Canada my entire life, but I'm lucky enough to have a dual Canadian/Australian citizenship. I also just graduated with a degree in Computer Science and have about a year of experience as a developer. Moving down to Australia to work for a couple years has always been in the back of my mind.

My question is: is the there an extremely good job market for software devlopers/engineers in Australia right now? I've been looking at some Australian job boards and there are a ton of junior software engineer positions with requirements of "a good attitude and some PHP would be nice" that pay 50-70k plus all sorts of other perks.

Thanks for the info guys, I'm going to keep an eye on the job postings. I also didn't realize rent in Sydney was so expensive even compared to Vancouver, jesus.

edit: Oh, one other question. I see some jobs that are salary + Super. I know that Super is some sort of retirement fund, but I was under the impression that all jobs were required by law to pay into Super. How come some of these jobs specifically say salary + Super and some don't?
