Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Office Administrator in Perth?
Entry is $65,000, typically general office support blending reception, coordination and basic finance tasks. Breadth is what lifts pay, since administrators handling bookkeeping, HR admin or facilities sit at the top of the band. Resources sector offices pay above general commercial at the same experience level.
Is $74,100 a good salary in Perth?
No, though it leads the country. At $74,000 an office administrator earns 25.9% below Perth's all-roles median of $100,000, with take-home near $1,117 a week and moderate living costs. It does pay $4,000 more than administration officer work in the same city and $7,000 more than administration assistant roles. The tight band means the figure is predictable.
How much does a Senior Office Administrator make in Perth?
The ceiling is $80,000, only $6,000 above the median, so there is very little headroom. Office management and business support coordination are what reach it. Within Perth administration the ladder is compressed, so changing sector matters more than changing title.
