I would assume they would make a similar dollar figure to an NBL contract for a returning college player although you then have the euro conversion into AUD on euro's saved and I don't think they pay taxes.

They are working a longer season to earn that money, and a lot of these clubs run things pretty bare with everything other then player salaries, eg long bus rides instead of flying, less access to physio's, also less job security if they aren't on a euro passport.
