Training and legal requirements

According to training providers, there is no legal requirement to be a qualified barista in Australia. Short courses in the results cover espresso, milk texturing and food safety, and a five-hour course with latte art and a nationally recognised certificate is also offered. Ask candidates which of these skills they already have, and whether they hold a food safety certificate.

Season and shifts

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, and the busiest hours of a café can change with the season. November is the start of summer, so a role starting before Christmas needs candidates soon. State whether the shifts are seasonal, and which mornings, evenings or weekends you need covered.

What to write in the request

Name the type of venue (café, hotel bar, restaurant or event bar), the suburb or city, the hourly pay in A$, the schedule and the experience you need. Say whether you want latte art or milk texturing, and which espresso equipment the workplace uses, so that candidates can answer precisely.

Pay and how it is quoted here

Pay is best quoted in A$ per hour, and it helps to say whether tips are shared. Name the city and suburb (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide) so that businesses nearby can answer.
