Understanding the Melbourne Market

The 120% spread here is the widest of any Melbourne role, running $60,000 to $150,000, and it is a commission artefact rather than a seniority structure. The mid band carries all 70 listings and spans the identical range, so there is no tiering at all. The median fell $10,000 to $75,000, putting Melbourne behind Brisbane at $80,000 and level with Sydney. Read $60,000 to $75,000 as the base reality and the $150,000 tail as on-target earnings for the strongest performers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Sales Consultant in Melbourne?
Entry is $60,000, typically retail or showroom sales with commission on a modest base. Sector drives the upside far more than tenure, with building products, automotive and capital equipment above consumer retail. Sales representative roles at $88,000 are the clearest step up in Melbourne.
Is $75,000 a good salary in Melbourne?
No. At $75,000 a sales consultant earns 16.7% below Melbourne's all-roles median of $90,000, with take-home near $1,128 a week against high living costs. The median also fell 12% this month. The titles above it pay substantially more, with sales representatives at $88,000, account managers at $100,000 and business development at $125,000.
How much does a Senior Sales Consultant make in Melbourne?
The ceiling is $150,000, double the median, which only makes sense as commission-inclusive earnings rather than base pay. Consistent performance against target is what reaches it. The more reliable path is retitling into sales representation or account management, both of which lift the median rather than the tail.
