Understanding the Brisbane Market

The 112% spread here is the widest in this entire report, running $113,000 to $275,000, and it deserves scepticism rather than excitement. The mid band tops out at exactly the same $275,000 as the overall range while the senior band stops at $174,000, which means a small number of extreme listings are stretching the middle rather than a genuine senior tier. The median fell $14,800 to $145,000 this month, putting Brisbane below Sydney at $151,000 and Melbourne at $150,000. Read the $113,000 floor and the $145,000 median as the real signal and treat the ceiling as noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Business Analyst in Brisbane?

There is no junior entry here: the $113,000 floor assumes delivery experience, and business analysis is usually a second career rather than a first. The common routes in are from testing, operations or domain expertise in government, resources or banking. Requirements elicitation and process mapping are the skills listings name most often at the bottom of the range.

Is $145,241 a good salary in Brisbane?

Yes. At $145,000 a business analyst earns 66% above Brisbane's all-roles median of $87,000, with take-home near $1,991 a week and moderate living costs. That comfortably clears the equivalent purchasing power of Sydney's $151,000. The caution is direction, since this median dropped 9% in a month on 47 listings.

How much does a Senior Business Analyst make in Brisbane?

Senior listings run $125,000 to $174,000 with a median of $145,000, from 23 listings, and that is the range to trust. Getting there means owning a workstream end to end, usually with a specialisation in data, integration or regulatory change. The $275,000 figures in the wider data are outliers rather than a realistic senior target.
