It matches Sydney exactly at $70k, so this is a nationally consistent rate tied to the employment-services sector rather than local conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Employment Consultant in Brisbane?
The floor is $65k (p10). A new employment consultant starts near there, and the lift toward the $82k top comes from meeting placement and outcome targets, holding a relevant qualification (community services, careers development), and managing a caseload in a high-outcome program.
Is $70,000 a good salary in Brisbane?
Depends. At $70k the median is about 18% below Brisbane's all-roles median and nets roughly $55k, which is modest but standard for the employment-services sector, funded largely through government contracts. The recent $5k rise is the positive signal. Earnings here are often topped up by outcome-based bonuses not captured in base pay.
How much does a Senior Employment Consultant make in Brisbane?
The band caps at $82k, so senior earnings come from role change rather than a distinct grade. Team-leader or site-manager positions in an employment-services provider, or a move into case management and program coordination, are the routes up, built on a consistent record of placement outcomes.
