Understanding the Perth Market

The signature of this role in Perth is an extremely high, extremely tight floor: the p10 sits at $158,848, right against the $160k median, so almost nobody earns below $159k. That is a 60% premium over Perth's all-roles figure and reflects the mining sector, heavy-diesel fitters on FIFO rosters. The band stretches to $275k at the top, pure mining-roster and overtime territory. Based on a small sample of 25 listings, treat as directional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Hd Fitter in Perth?
There is barely a junior tier here: even the p10 sits near $159k, because the role requires a completed heavy-diesel trade and the mining sector sets a high floor. What lifts pay to the top is roster and site: FIFO rosters, remote mine sites, and overtime-loaded contracts push earnings well past $200k.
Is $160,000 a good salary in Perth?
Yes, emphatically. At $160k the median HD fitter earns 60% above Perth's all-roles median and nets roughly $112,500 after tax, and the mining premium means even the floor is high. This is among the best-paid trades in the country. The trade-off is lifestyle, not money: the top rates come with FIFO rosters and remote work.
How much does a Senior Hd Fitter make in Perth?
The $275k top of the band is mining-roster territory: remote FIFO sites, long swings, and heavy overtime loadings. Getting there is less about title progression than about taking on the most demanding rosters and specialised heavy-equipment work. A completed heavy-diesel trade plus mining-site experience is the baseline for these contracts.
