Understanding the Perth Market

Perth executive assistants earn exactly the city median at $100k, so this role sits right at the local white-collar benchmark. Sydney and Melbourne pay more ($110k to $110.75k), which is the usual east-coast premium for EA work supporting corporate C-suites. Demand rose (29 listings, up from 22) though pay held flat month on month. The range ($85k to $125k) rewards EAs who support senior executives in resources or corporate settings, where the role shades into chief-of-staff territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Executive Assistant in Perth?
The band starts around $85k, already a step above general admin because EA is a senior support role. Moving toward the $125k top comes from who you support and how much you own: backing a C-level executive rather than a manager, running board papers, travel and diaries at pace, and taking on office-management or project-coordination scope alongside the EA core.
Is $100,000 a good salary in Perth?
Yes. At $100k the EA median sits exactly on Perth's all-roles median and nets about $75k after tax in a moderate-cost city, which is strong for an administrative track. EA is the top of the admin ladder, so this is where support work finally pays well. The only nuance is that Sydney and Melbourne pay $10k more, so the east coast edges Perth for this title.
How much does a Senior Executive Assistant make in Perth?
There is no separate senior band here, but the range reaches $125k for EAs supporting the most senior executives. The step up is into chief-of-staff, office-manager or executive-operations roles that carry budget and project ownership. Supporting a CEO or board, and taking responsibility for functions beyond diary management, is what lifts an EA toward and past the top of the band.
