Understanding the Sydney Market

Rehabilitation consultants sit exactly on Sydney's all-roles median at $95,000, with the median unchanged and listings rising 82% from 22 to 40. No other city carries enough listings to compare. The 23% spread running $84,000 to $106,000 is narrow, which is typical of insurer-funded and workers compensation work where rates are contractually set. Only 22% of listings stated a salary, so treat the figure as directional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Rehabilitation Consultant in Sydney?
The $84,000 floor assumes an allied health degree, usually occupational therapy, physiotherapy, exercise physiology or psychology, so this is not an entry role. Return to work planning, functional capacity assessment and insurer liaison are what listings name. A driver's licence is a standard requirement for site visits.
Is $95,000 a good salary in Sydney?
It is exactly average, matching Sydney's $95,000 all-roles median, with take-home near $1,380 a week against high living costs. For allied health professionals it pays slightly below clinical practice, since occupational therapy and physiotherapy both sit at $100,000 here. The trade-off is usually caseload predictability rather than pay.
How much does a Senior Rehabilitation Consultant make in Sydney?
The ceiling is $106,000, which is low and reflects the narrow insurer-funded band. Team leadership, technical specialist and branch management roles are what reach it. Returning to clinical practice or moving into insurer-side case management are the usual alternatives.
