Understanding the Brisbane Market

This role has no August comparison in the data, so there is no trend to read yet. At 30.8% below the city median it is the lowest-paying role in the Brisbane data at $62,000. Sydney pays $65,000 and Melbourne $61,000, so the national band is narrow and low. At 24% the spread is among the tightest in this report, running $55,000 to $70,000, which leaves almost nothing to negotiate for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Warehouse Assistant in Brisbane?
Entry is $55,000 and the whole band is compressed, so there is little distance between starting and typical pay. A forklift licence is the clearest upgrade, moving workers toward $71,000 as forklift operators. Storeperson roles at $65,000 pay more for broader duties and need no additional ticket.
Is $62,244 a good salary in Brisbane?
No. At $62,000 this is the lowest median of any Brisbane role in this report, 30.8% below the city figure of $90,000, with take-home near $969 a week. Storeperson work at $65,000 pays more for similar duties, which makes the title itself worth avoiding. The forklift licence is the single most cost-effective way out of this band.
How much does a Senior Warehouse Assistant make in Brisbane?
The ceiling is $70,000 and the mid band stops at $69,000, so there is almost no progression inside this title. Storeperson, forklift operator and truck driving all pay more and are reachable with a licence rather than a qualification. Warehouse supervision requires stepping out of assistant-level work entirely.
