The last thing you want to find is that you’re only earning the minimum wage for a role when you could be earning a lot more.

The average weekly earnings and average salary in Australia differs greatly depending on the role, profession, industry and sector so it’s hard to calculate a blanket average salary across all industries. For example, someone working in the financial sector may have a very different salary to someone working in the private sector.

Education is also an important factory as an employer is more likely to pay a higher average salary to candidates who have completed some form of higher education or professional training. Whether that be education in the form of a degree or some form of industry specific training that allows you to perform specialised work.

Another factor you might find is that jobs and roles that are in higher demand come with a higher average salary due to a shortage in trained workers in that field.
