Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Medical Receptionist in Perth?
Entry is $56,000, typically general practice reception with on-the-job training. Practice software is the main differentiator, with Best Practice, Medical Director and Genie recurring across listings. Specialist clinics and day surgeries pay above general practice at the same experience level.
Is $65,000 a good salary in Perth?
No. At $65,000 the role sits 35% below Perth's all-roles median of $100,000, with take-home near $1,003 a week. It does share the top of the national band. Perth's high city median is what makes an at-market national wage look poor locally.
How much does a Senior Medical Receptionist make in Perth?
The ceiling is $75,000, and the mid band stops at $74,000, so there is very little headroom. Practice management is the route beyond it, combining reception with billing, compliance and rostering. Clinical study leading to nursing at $100,000 is the larger reset available.
