Understanding the Melbourne Market

Project coordinator pay in Melbourne sits almost exactly on the city median ($96,250, up just 1.3% versus the all-roles figure), rare for a support role. But the 89% spread (from $74,750 to $160k) is one of the widest here, because the title bridges admin support and near-PM responsibility. Pay eased $3,750 this month even as listings grew from 37 to 44. The other capitals all pay a round $100k, so Melbourne runs slightly behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Project Coordinator in Melbourne?
Project coordinators in Melbourne start near the $76k p10 (the mid-band floor), moving toward the $90k mid median with delivery experience. A project qualification (Cert IV or entry-level PRINCE2/Agile), plus scheduling, budget-tracking and stakeholder-reporting skills, is what pushes pay up. Construction and IT project environments pay above general office coordination.
Is $96,250 a good salary in Melbourne?
Depends on your read. At $96,250 the median sits right on Melbourne's $95k all-roles median and nets about $73k, fair for a coordination role. The wide range is the real story: the top reaches $160k where the role edges into project management. So the median is average, but the ceiling is high for those who take on delivery.
How much does a Senior Project Coordinator make in Melbourne?
The mid band tops at a $127k p90 and the overall p90 reaches $160k, so the ceiling runs through the jump to Project Manager ($160k median). Getting there means owning delivery, budget and scope rather than coordinating them, usually with a full PM certification (PMP or PRINCE2 Practitioner) behind you.
