If you're a foreign resident for tax purposes (most temporary visa holders), you pay tax from your first dollar of Australian income with no tax-free threshold. The benefit is you don't pay the 2% Medicare levy.
Your employer withholds tax from each pay using non-resident rates. At the end of the financial year, lodge a tax return to claim any refund or pay any shortfall.
