Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Executive Assistant in Perth?
The $84,000 floor assumes several years of administrative experience, so this is not an entry role. Administration officer work at $67,000 is the usual feeder, making this a $28,000 step up. Board paper preparation, complex travel coordination and supporting resources sector executives are what listings name at the upper end.
Is $95,000 a good salary in Perth?
It is exactly average for Perth, matching the city's $95,000 all-roles median, with take-home near $1,380 a week and moderate living costs. For an administrative role that is a strong outcome, and it is the top administrative band in the city. Nationally, though, Perth pays the least for this title, $12,000 behind Melbourne.
How much does a Senior Executive Assistant make in Perth?
The ceiling is $104,000, the lowest executive assistant ceiling in this report, so headroom is limited. Chief executive and board-level support with office management attached is what reaches it. Given the tight band, moving into operations or business management is the more meaningful progression.
