Median weekly earnings
Source: ABS Survey of Employee Earnings and Hours, May 2023, customised report.
This is the median pay for full–time non–managerial employees paid at the adult rate before tax and salary sacrificed amounts. The full–time non–managerial employees paid at the adult rate population has been used because it excludes people paid unusually high or low amounts (for example managers, part–time employees and youths). This allows for more accurate comparison between occupations. These figures are a guide only and should not be used to determine a wage rate as they do not take into account years of experience or other factors may influence a person’s wage.
Please note median weekly earnings figures are not produced for the following occupations:
- ANZSCO 6–digit occupations.
- Senior Non-Commissioned Defence Force Officers (1392) and Defence Force Members - Other Ranks (4411).
- ANZSCO 4–digit occupations where there is a relative standard error of 25% or higher.
Median age
This is the median age of all workers in an occupation.
