Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Radiographer in Melbourne?
The $81,000 floor assumes a medical imaging degree and AHPRA registration, so there is no informal entry. The mid band starts at $85,000. CT, MRI and interventional experience are the specialisations that separate the upper end, with public hospital classifications setting much of the lower range.
Is $100,000 a good salary in Melbourne?
Marginally. At $100,000 a radiographer earns 6.6% above Melbourne's all-roles median of $93,000, with take-home near $1,443 a week against the highest living costs in this report. Brisbane pays $15,000 more at a lower cost base. It sits level with nursing and the rest of the $100,000 allied health cluster, which is a thin outcome for a specialised imaging qualification.
How much does a Senior Radiographer make in Melbourne?
The ceiling is $125,000, reached through advanced modality specialisation, clinical lead roles or sonography crossover. With fewer than one listing in seven disclosing pay, treat the upper end as indicative. Further qualification into sonography is the route that resets this range substantially.
