YouGov has a specific Australian survey site, and it is very easy to use. Once you sign up, you will receive an email, when there is a new survey available. The only way you can earn is by taking surveys, but YouGov has a good amount of surveys available, and they do not take long to do, and are mostly about interesting and relevant topics.
On YouGov’s website you can even see the results of the surveys they have conducted, which is a great extra feature. You can get paid through PayPal, gift cards, mobiles credits, or donate your earnings to charity.
9 – Mobrog Australia
Payout methods: PayPal, Skrill
Payout threshold: $6.25
Short summary:
Mobrog has an Australian survey site that is just for Australians and it is very easy to use.
You just sign up and then you will receive email invitations for surveys. Compared to other survey sites, it can, however, take more patience to find the surveys you qualify for on Mobrog, but it offers a decent amount and is very easy to use.
You can choose to get paid in cash either through PayPal or Skrill once you have earned $6.25.
10 – MyOpinions
Payout methods: PayPal, gift cards
Payout threshold: $10
Short summary:
MyOpinions is a survey site only for Australia, so it is obviously only offering surveys relevant to Australians, and it has a decent amount of surveys.
Online surveys are the main way to earn here but you can also earn a bit extra by inviting friends to join, and the platform has a loyalty program that will give you more benefits and bonuses, the more surveys you complete.
In addition to earning rewards for taking surveys, you will also earn entries into the quarterly draw, every time you complete a survey. This draw gives $5000 to one lucky winner. You can get paid through PayPal on MyOpinions or choose from many gift cards. The payout threshold for gift cards is $10, while it is $20 for PayPal.
However, I have seen mixed experiences about this survey site and some say they have had their account closed down. Others are, however, happy with it. So just make sure to take your earnings out as soon as you can to be on the safe side.
11 – Opinion Bureau
Payout methods: PayPal, gift cards
Payout threshold: $5
Short summary:
Opinion Bureau is a very simple survey site with a specific panel just for Australia. It does not give the most survey options but because it is so easy, it can still be worth joining as an extra site.
Once you have joined, you just wait to receive survey invitations via email which is the main way to earn. You can also earn a bit extra by inviting friends to join.
The payout threshold is only $5 and you can get paid in cash through PayPal or get gift cards.
12 – The Panel Station
Payout methods: PayPal, gift cards
Payout threshold: $5
Short summary:
The Panel Station is actually not so much a survey site for Australia but more an app. You can, however, sign up on their website as well.
As a member, you should not expect more than 1-4 surveys per week. It can, however, still be worth signing up for as an extra site as it is easy to use.
Also, you can quickly get paid on Panel Station, as you can get your money out once you have earned $5.
13 – SpiderMetrix
Payout methods: PayPal, Amazon, charity donations
Payout threshold: $50
Short summary:
SpiderMetrix is not really one of my favorite sites, but it is still on this list, as it is mostly a site for Australians. It is open for other countries to join as well, but the company is based in Australia, and the most opportunities are for people living here.
You can mainly earn by doing paid surveys. There are often what is called quick surveys as well. The quick surveys will not make you a lot of money, but they also only take a few seconds to do. Paid surveys are the main way to earn on SpiderMetrix, but there is also a social aspect, where you can chat with other members. In general, SpiderMetrix is not the site that offers the best earning opportunities, even if you live in Australia. But it can be a nice extra site to join if you want to join as many as possible, and it is definitely a legit site.
The payout threshold is very high compared to other survey sites, and in my opinion way too high, as you have to earn $50 before you can get paid through PayPal or Amazon gift cards. If you want to donate your earnings to charity, you can do this already when you have earned $1.
Now you know what the best survey sites to join are if you live in Australia and what the different sites have to offer. The list is regularly updated, so make sure to bookmark it and come back and check it once in a while.
