Service advisors in Melbourne start near the $70.75k p10, usually a base with a service or parts bonus on top. Franchise-dealer experience, a premium or prestige brand, and strong upsell and customer-retention numbers are what carry someone toward the $115k top of the band.

Depends. At $82.5k the median trails Melbourne's baseline but nets around $64k, reasonable for the role, and it is edging up. The below-baseline base is normal for a bonus-driven automotive role, and the wide band means strong advisors at premium dealers earn well above the median.
How much does a Senior Service Advisor make in Melbourne?
The sample shows one band topping near $115k, driven by bonus and dealer prestige rather than a formal grade. The pay step comes from moving to a premium-brand or larger dealer group, or up into a service-manager or aftersales-management role.
