Understanding the Melbourne Market

Sales consultant pay in Melbourne jumped $5,000 this month to $85k, on strong demand that rose from 45 to 60 listings, one of the clearer upward moves in the batch. The role sits 10.5% below the city's all-roles figure at base, but that understates take-home: the wide band ($65k to $145,500) reflects heavy commission, and the top decile shows what strong closers actually earn. Base is only part of the picture in a commission-driven role.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Sales Consultant in Melbourne?
New sales consultants in Melbourne start around $65k base. The lift toward the $145,500 top is almost entirely commission-driven: high-value sectors (property, automotive, financial services) and a strong close rate can more than double base earnings. The sector you sell into matters more than tenure, since on-target earnings sit well above the base median.
Is $85,000 a good salary in Melbourne?
Depends. At $85k the base median sits 10.5% below Melbourne's all-roles median and nets roughly $65k after tax, modest on paper, but the wide band ($65k to $145,500) is the real story: strong performers in high-value sectors earn far more through commission. So the verdict hinges on the product, a good closer in property or finance does very well, while a weak market hits take-home hard.
How much does a Senior Sales Consultant make in Melbourne?
Top sales consultants reach the $145,500 top of the band almost entirely through commission on high-value products (property, automotive, finance). The step up is about the sector and close rate, not seniority: moving into a higher-ticket product or a role with a richer commission structure. The natural progression is into Account Manager or Business Development Manager ($125k) roles.
