Understanding the Perth Market

Office Administrators in Perth earned $74,550 at the median in May, sitting 25.4% below Perth's all-roles median. Prior month data is unavailable. The sample is small at 24 listings. The 31.5% spread (p10 of $65,000, p90 of $85,000) is consistent with other cities: office admin pay is standardised and does not attract the resources sector premium that inflates other Perth roles. This is one of the reasons the city-median gap is wider here than in Adelaide or Brisbane.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Office Administrator in Perth?
Office Administrators in Perth start at around $65,000 at the p10. Entry-level roles typically require prior administrative experience and strong computer literacy. The Perth market does not apply the resources sector wage premium to standard administrative roles, so pay at this level is broadly aligned with Brisbane and Melbourne despite Perth's higher median in most other occupations.
Is $74,550 a good salary in Perth?
Marginally. At $74,550, a Perth Office Administrator earns 25.4% below the city's all-roles median. The gap is large but reflects Perth's elevated median from the resources sector rather than Office Administrators being underpaid on absolute terms. In cost-of-living terms, $74,550 in Perth is more liveable than the same salary in Sydney. However, it is below what most office administrators might expect given Perth's overall wage environment.
How much does a Senior Office Administrator make in Perth?
Experienced Office Administrators in Perth reach $85,000 at the p90. This ceiling captures those in coordinator-level roles with office operations, fleet, or facilities responsibilities added to their base administrative functions. Reaching above $85,000 typically requires a reclassification to Office Manager or Operations Coordinator.
