Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Rehabilitation Consultant in Sydney?
Rehabilitation consultants in Sydney start near the $85k p10, reaching the $95k median with experience. This role usually requires an allied-health degree (physiotherapy, OT, exercise physiology, psychology), so the entry floor is already high. Experience in workers-compensation or return-to-work case management is what pushes pay toward the $100k top of the narrow band.
Is $95,000 a good salary in Sydney?
Depends on your benchmark. At $95k the median sits exactly on Sydney's all-roles median and nets about $72k, which is fair for an allied-health-adjacent role. It is neither above nor below the city bar, it is right at it. The very tight band means there is little room to earn more without changing role.
How much does a Senior Rehabilitation Consultant make in Sydney?
There is no senior band, and the $100k p90 is close to the ceiling within the title given how narrow the range is. Progression means moving into team leadership, a senior consultant or branch-management role within an occupational-rehab provider, which rewards running a caseload team and hitting outcome targets rather than individual case work.
