Understanding the Sydney Market

The median jumped $14,040 to $79,000, a 22% rise and one of the sharpest moves in the Sydney data, with listings up 67% from 52 to 87. Brisbane and Perth lead at $80,000, so Sydney has nearly closed what was a meaningful gap. The 71% spread running $59,000 to $116,000 reflects commission-inclusive packages rather than a seniority structure. At 40% salary disclosure, treat a move this size as directional rather than settled.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Sales Consultant in Sydney?
Entry is $59,000, typically retail or showroom sales with commission on a modest base. Sector drives the upside far more than tenure, with property, financial products and capital equipment above consumer retail. Sales associate roles at $70,000 are the adjacent step.
Is $79,040 a good salary in Sydney?
No, though it has improved sharply. At $79,000 a sales consultant earns 16.8% below Sydney's all-roles median of $95,000, with take-home near $1,179 a week against the highest living costs in this report. Brisbane and Perth pay $1,000 more at far lower cost bases. Sales representative at $88,000 and account management at $100,000 are the next bands.
How much does a Senior Sales Consultant make in Sydney?
The ceiling is $116,000, which only makes sense as commission-inclusive earnings rather than base pay. Consistent performance against target is what reaches it. Retitling into sales representation or account management lifts the median rather than the tail, which makes it the more reliable route.
