Understanding the Perth Market

At $60.8k the Perth medical receptionist median sits $39k, or 39%, below the city's $100k baseline, the second-widest gap in the batch, and it eased slightly month on month. Perth is actually the lowest-paying capital for the role, trailing Adelaide's $66k and Brisbane's $65k. The high Perth baseline is a resources artefact this role does not touch. Demand is strong at 60 listings, but pay is flat and among the lowest nationally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Medical Receptionist in Perth?
Medical receptionists in Perth start near the $55k p10 and cluster at the $61k median. Clinical-software fluency (Genie, Best Practice), Medicare billing knowledge, and specialist-practice or day-surgery experience are what push someone toward the $73k top of the band.
Is $60,762 a good salary in Perth?
No. At $60.8k the median is well below Perth's baseline and nets around $49k, one of the lower take-homes in the batch. The gap partly reflects the resources-inflated baseline, but Perth also pays this role less than every other capital, so it is a genuine soft spot. The move up is into practice management or a clinical support role.
How much does a Senior Medical Receptionist make in Perth?
The sample shows one mid band topping near $73k. Reaching it means specialist-practice work and billing expertise, with practice-management or medical-administration coordinator roles the realistic pay step above the front-desk band.
