How much do Home and Away extras get paid?

Could you act as if it's summer, on the beach in a bikini…when it’s really the middle of winter!

Since its debut in 1988, Home and Away has been host to many stars including Chris Hemsworth, Naomi Watts, and Samara Weaving.

The show also relies on a catalogue of extras too, one of which has come forward about how much she earns as an extra. 

Sophie makes about $350AUD for a 10-hour day, although it isn't always easy…

The $35 hourly rate is higher than Australia's $21.38 hourly minimum wage and due to the lengthy days, extras on shows often receive a catered lunch as an added perk.

It's not clear if the sum indicated accounts for the background agency's part.
