Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Practice Manager in Melbourne?
The floor is around $77k (p10). A first practice-management role opens near there, often a step up from senior reception or clinic administration; billing and compliance knowledge, staff-rostering experience, and running a busy or multi-practitioner clinic are what carry someone toward the $125k top.
Is $100,000 a good salary in Melbourne?
Yes. At $100k the median is 5% above Melbourne's all-roles median and nets about $75k, a solid outcome in a high-cost city, and Melbourne pays more than the other eastern capitals for this role. Practice management sits above the medical-reception and admin roles it grows out of, which makes it a genuine step up rather than a lateral move.
How much does a Senior Practice Manager make in Melbourne?
The band reaches $125k (p90), where managers of large medical, dental or allied-health groups sit. The step up is scale and scope: running multiple sites or a larger practitioner team, owning compliance and financial performance, and moving toward a group operations or business-manager role.
