Thanks heaps for the advice. Yes I've already run this one past my employers and they're good (actually shockingly good considering the details).

Really don't intend to do this more than as isolated one offs so I think I'll find something free. Won't earn 75k+ a year from it either but I'll have a look into what services attract GST etc.

So the tax only gets paid at tax time, not progressively... That's good, I might keep this extra income as a buffer and when it comes to June 2026 I'll probably throw it into super to reduce marginal tax on it. If it works like that.

Thanks once again, personal experience is really helpful!
