Understanding the Brisbane Market

Project coordinators in Brisbane earn $100k, 18% above the city median and flat on the month, but the band is unusually wide for the level ($82k to $168k, an 86% spread). That range reflects how much sector matters: a coordinator on a small commercial fit-out and one on a major resources or infrastructure program share a title but not a pay grade. Brisbane, Perth and Sydney all sit at $100k, so this is a nationally consistent coordination rate. Listings grew modestly, from 23 to 29.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Project Coordinator in Brisbane?
The floor is around $81.5k (p10). A junior project coordinator starts near there, and the lift toward the top of the band comes from construction or resources-sector exposure, scheduling-software fluency (a tool such as MS Project or Primavera), and coordinating larger, higher-value projects rather than administrative support.
Is $100,000 a good salary in Brisbane?
Yes. At $100k the median is 18% above Brisbane's all-roles median and nets about $75k, a good outcome in a moderate-cost city. Project coordination clears the local benchmark and, given the wide band, offers real headroom for those on major projects. It also sits directly on the path toward project management, where pay climbs steeply.
How much does a Senior Project Coordinator make in Brisbane?
The band reaches $168k (p90), where coordinators on major infrastructure or resources programs sit, closing in on project-manager territory. The step up is into project management proper, which trades scheduling and coordination for owning budget, scope and delivery, and where Brisbane medians run to $160k and beyond.
