Understanding the Melbourne Market

The median fell $22,500 to $137,000, a 14% drop that opens a $23,000 gap to Sydney at $160,000. Listings rose from 25 to 32 at the same time, so this is a repricing rather than a demand contraction. Only 21% of listings stated a salary, so a fall this size off 32 listings should be treated as directional. The mid band runs $100,000 to $160,000 with a median of $125,000, sitting well below the overall figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Product Manager in Melbourne?
The $100,000 floor assumes commercial or technical experience, so product management is generally a second career. Business analysis at $150,000, engineering and marketing are the common routes in. Roadmap ownership, customer discovery and working directly with engineering teams are what listings name at the lower end.
Is $137,500 a good salary in Melbourne?
Yes. At $137,000 a product manager earns 52.8% above Melbourne's all-roles median of $90,000, with take-home near $1,900 a week. Sydney pays $23,000 more, which even Melbourne's lower housing costs do not fully offset, so Sydney is the stronger market for this role. Business analysts in Melbourne earn $150,000, more than product managers this month.
How much does a Senior Product Manager make in Melbourne?
The ceiling is $169,000, reached through owning a product line or portfolio rather than a single product. Head of product and director roles sit above this range. Given the low disclosure rate and the sharp monthly fall, treat both the median and the ceiling as provisional.
