Tipping is not a must in Australia, but a voluntary decision in recognition of good service. It is therefore not generally expected, although it is of course appreciated. In hotels and restaurants, no service charge is added to the bill. In better restaurants, about 10 per cent of the bill is left on the table if the service was particularly good. In bars and pubs, it is customary not to tip.
