Understanding the Perth Market

Based on 20 listings, read this as directional. Demand is very thin (a score of 6) and the median slipped from $74.5k to $70k, so this is a quiet, softening corner of the Perth market. At $70k the role sits 30% below Perth's $100k baseline, the trade-off for a support function against a resources-inflated city figure. The band is tight, $65k to $82k.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Office Administrator in Perth?
Office administrators in Perth start near the $65k p10 and cluster at the $70k median. Bookkeeping or MYOB/Xero skills, plus office-coordination experience in a busy resources or construction firm, are what nudge someone toward the $82k top of the band.
Is $70,000 a good salary in Perth?
Depends. At $70k the median trails Perth's baseline, but that baseline is lifted by mining pay this role does not tap, so for office administration the number is fair. The roughly $55k take-home is workable, though thin demand and a falling median mean limited leverage right now.
How much does a Senior Office Administrator make in Perth?
The sample shows one band topping near $82k. The pay step comes from taking on bookkeeping, office-management, or site-administration scope, where Perth listings (especially resources-linked site admin at $100k) sit well above the office-support band.
