Understanding the Sydney Market

The spread tells the real story: Sydney sales consultants run from $54,500 to $132,750, a 112% band, one of the widest here, because commission means two people with the same title can earn wildly different totals. The $70k median fell $10k this month even as listings jumped from 53 to 70, so more hiring at lower base. Melbourne ($85k) and Brisbane ($82,500) both pay more, making Sydney the cheapest capital for the role. Base is low, upside is in the commission.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Sales Consultant in Sydney?

Sales consultants in Sydney start near the $54,500 p10 on base, reaching the $70k median with a track record of hitting targets. Because the band is so wide, the lever is the product and the commission structure: selling high-value products (property, finance, tech) with an uncapped plan is what pushes total pay toward the $132k top. Base alone stays low.

Is $70,000 a good salary in Sydney?

Depends heavily on commission. At $70k the base median sits 26% under Sydney's $95k all-roles median and nets about $55k, modest before bonuses. That is normal for a commission role where OTE is the real number, but the honest read is that base pay fell $10k this month and other capitals pay more. Strong closers reach $132k, weak ones stay near the floor.

How much does a Senior Sales Consultant make in Sydney?

There is no formal senior band, so the $132,750 p90 reflects top closers rather than a grade. Progression means moving into Account Manager ($107,500 in Sydney), Business Development Manager ($125k) or sales-team-leadership roles, which reward owning larger accounts and a pipeline rather than transactional selling. The step up is scope and deal size.
