Is it rude not to tip in Australia?

Tipping is not mandatory but the staff always appreciates it. Stick to the 10-15% rule, which is considered very generous. They do provide tip jars in some restaurants, cafes and pubs; if you desire, leave some small change in the jar. Note: The service in Australia is a lot more laid back than in many other countries.
