Part of PageGroup

About
The Page Personnel Salary Benchmark
is our annual salary report developed
to provide hiring managers and
candidates with salary references
across various job functions, including
Finance & Accounting, Customer
Service, Logistics and more.
The report also includes an overview
of market trends, hiring demands and
job seekers’ sentiments within each
industry.

Report methodology
The Page Personnel Salary Benchmark
is derived from 45,000 data points
in our proprietary data and network
in Australia, which includes job
advertisements and placements made
between July 2018 and June 2019,
incorporating salary projections for
2020. Job Applicant Confidence Index,
insights from our business leaders, our
recruiters’ interactions with companies
and industry professionals, as well as
other supplemental information from
our various studies were also taken
into consideration.

This year, the salary figures are


represented by the minimum,
maximum and median where median
is a representation of the middle-most
value in a set of data, arranged in
ascending order. This means that, half
the people who work in a specific field
earns less than the median salary from
the minimum, while the other half earns
more towards the maximum.
