Understanding the Melbourne Market

The median fell $10,000 to $75,000 while listings rose 47% from 49 to 72, so more roles are being advertised at a lower rate. Brisbane and Perth lead at $80,000, with Sydney at $79,000 and Adelaide at $72,000. The 81% spread running $59,000 to $120,000 reflects commission-inclusive packages at the top rather than a seniority structure, since the mid band spans the identical range. At 48% salary disclosure the decline is reasonably well evidenced.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Sales Consultant in Melbourne?
Entry is $59,000, typically retail or showroom sales with commission on a modest base. Sector drives the upside far more than tenure, with financial services, building products and capital equipment above consumer retail. Sales representative roles at $80,000 are the clearest step up.
Is $75,000 a good salary in Melbourne?
No. At $75,000 a sales consultant earns 20% below Melbourne's all-roles median of $93,000, with take-home near $1,128 a week against the highest living costs in this report. The median also fell 12% this month. Account management at $100,000 and business development at $125,000 are the bands worth targeting.
How much does a Senior Sales Consultant make in Melbourne?
The ceiling is $120,000, which only makes sense as commission-inclusive earnings rather than base pay. Consistent performance against target is what reaches it. Retitling into sales representation, account management or business development lifts the median rather than the tail, which makes it the more reliable route.
