Depends on the centre I think. At my centre you would be on roughly $25.16 p/h

As a casual assistant with a Diploma qualification you will be on Level 3.4 and your minimum hourly wage is $28.33/per hour. In regards to your Grad Diploma, you could try and get a position as an ECT within a centre and this may increase your pay...

Hope this helps,
