Understanding the Melbourne Market

The band here is unusually tight for a marketing role (29%, from $65k to $87.5k), because coordinator work is defined and junior, with the strategic upside sitting in manager titles above it. The median eased $1,250 month on month to $78,750 on flat demand (36 listings). It runs 17% below Melbourne's all-roles median. Sydney pays marginally more at $80k. The related-roles data shows the real ceiling: BDM at $125k, Sales Manager at $125k.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Marketing Coordinator in Melbourne?
A marketing coordinator in Melbourne starts near the $65k floor, usually a first or second post-degree role. Reaching the $87.5k top comes from breadth and channel skill: owning paid digital, marketing automation, or analytics rather than general campaign support, and a marketing degree plus hands-on platform experience (HubSpot, Google Ads, Meta) is what lifts pay within the band.
Is $78,750 a good salary in Melbourne?
Depends. At $78,750 the median is 17% below Melbourne's $95k all-roles median and nets around $61k after tax, workable in the city. That gap is normal for a coordinator-level role, which sits below marketing-manager pay by design. The tight band means limited near-term upside, so the real earnings move is the step up to a manager title.
How much does a Senior Marketing Coordinator make in Melbourne?
There is no senior tier for the coordinator title, so the $87.5k top is the ceiling. The move up is into Marketing Manager or Digital Marketing Manager, where owning strategy, budget and a team lifts pay well into six figures. Specialising in a high-demand channel (performance marketing, marketing automation) and taking budget ownership is what makes that jump.
