Which places paid the most and least for tradies across Australia this year?

Here is a breakdown for other tradies and how they stack up across the country:

Painter prices are influenced largely by supply and demand, according to ServiceSeeking; the more supply there is, the lower the price rise. Victoria is currently the cheapest state or territory for painters, who charge $42.17 per hour, and South Australia is considered the most expensive state or territory, charging $56.30 per hour on average.
