Increasing rates in Sydney to boost your earnings per trip

A lot has changed since the Uber app first launched in Australia, and it’s clear from your feedback that rates need to change too. So we’re increasing rates in Sydney through a higher base fare, per-minute and per-km rates.^

This means you can earn more on each trip. For the exact rates, check your email and the Uber Driver App.
