Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Project Administrator in Perth?
Project administrators in Perth start around $65k. The lift toward the $114,500 top comes from the project and sector: resources, energy and major-infrastructure programs pay well above commercial fit-out work, and document-control experience plus project-management-software fluency (Aconex, MS Project) separate the higher earners.
Is $80,014 a good salary in Perth?
Depends. At $80,014 the median sits 20% below Perth's all-roles median and nets roughly $62k after tax, but that gap is partly a mirage: Perth's baseline is inflated by mining, and project admin is a support role, so the discount is normal. On a major resources project the same title pays far more, so the sector you land in matters more than the median suggests.
How much does a Senior Project Administrator make in Perth?
Experienced project administrators reach the $114,500 top on major resources and infrastructure programs, with document-control and program-coordination scope. The step up is into Project Coordinator or Contracts Administrator roles, which means owning schedules, contracts and reporting rather than administrative support, and often carries a large pay jump in the resources sector.
