Understanding the Sydney Market

At 146 listings this is one of Sydney's highest-volume roles, up 39% from 105, with demand in the 98th percentile and the median fixed at $65,000. Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Perth all pay exactly the same, with only Newcastle lower at $60,000. The 35% spread is narrow, and what separates the ends is licensing rather than seniority. At 27% salary disclosure the figure leans on estimates, though the national uniformity reinforces it.
