Tipping in Australia is not a common practice and is generally not expected. While there are instances of tip jars at coffee shops or gratuity lines on restaurant bills, these are not widespread and are often met with resistance. The majority of Australians believe that employees should be paid fairly by their employers and that tipping should not be used as a means to supplement income. There is a strong sentiment against the adoption of a US-style tipping culture, where tipping becomes an obligation rather than a reward for exceptional service. However, there are some instances where Australians might tip, such as when dining in a group and everyone contributes more than their share, or in response to exceptional service. The amount tipped in these cases is usually small, often just rounding up to the nearest whole amount or contributing a few extra dollars.
