Understanding the Sydney Market

Only 2.4% of these 42 listings stated a salary, meaning one listing in the entire sample disclosed pay. That makes this the second least evidenced page in this report and the $70,000 median almost entirely inferred. What supports it is consistency, with Brisbane also at $70,000 and Melbourne at $65,000, and the median unchanged across the month. Treat every figure here as a rough indication rather than a measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Employment Consultant in Sydney?

The estimated floor is $65,000, typically caseload work in employment services placing jobseekers with employers. Sector experience in disability employment services or Workforce Australia contracts is what listings name. Given almost no listings disclose pay, the entry figure is inferred rather than observed.

Is $70,000 a good salary in Sydney?

There is not enough evidence to answer confidently. The estimated median of $70,000 sits 26.3% below Sydney's all-roles median of $95,000, with take-home near $1,065 a week, but that rests on a single disclosed salary across 42 listings. Brisbane shows the same $70,000. Verify against individual listings before relying on this.

How much does a Senior Employment Consultant make in Sydney?

The estimated ceiling is $84,000, reached through team leadership or site management in employment services. The 28% spread suggests limited progression inside the title. Given the near-total absence of salary disclosure, treat this range as directional only.
