Understanding the Brisbane Market

Only 20 listings and a demand score of 7 make this the quietest role in the Brisbane set, so the $79.5k median rests on thin ground. It sits just below the city all-roles median of $85k, a small 6% gap that is normal for general admin. The role appears in only two cities in this data (Brisbane and Perth), and Perth pays less at $73.5k. Based on a small sample, treat as directional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Administrator in Brisbane?
Entry administrators in Brisbane start around the $65k floor. The mid-level band tops out near $80k, and moving up it comes from taking on coordination or scheduling duties and getting fluent in a specific industry's systems (construction or government admin here, given the city's sectors).
Is $79,520 a good salary in Brisbane?
Depends. At $79.5k the median is 6% under Brisbane's $85k all-roles median, a gap small enough not to worry about for a general admin role. It nets roughly $62k after tax, which stretches reasonably in Brisbane. This is fair, if unspectacular, pay.
How much does a Senior Administrator make in Brisbane?
The data shows no senior administrator tier, so the ceiling here is around $99k at the top of the range. The real step up is a retitle into Office Manager or Executive Assistant work, which means owning office operations or supporting executives directly rather than handling general admin tasks.
