Financial benefits such as allowances for home working and assistance with fuel costs are top of mind for workers amidst the cost-of-living crisis. Offering
these incentives can make a difference to a business’ hiring and retention strategy in what is expected still to be a tight labour market in 2024. Non-

Establishing a caring culture is crucial to supporting employees who may be unable to fulfill their job duties due to accidents or illnesses. Insurance
policies that cover part or the entire lost salary not only foster goodwill, but also expedite the return to work—a vital aspect in the face of escalating
economic inactivity caused by prolonged sickness, a prevalent issue in Australia.

HOW TO USE OUR SALARY TABLES
23
2024 Salary Guide
Salary percentiles
Starting salaries are not one-size-fits-all, which is why
we separate them into three percentiles based on
multiple factors. The percentiles account for
differences in experience, skill, professional
certifications, demand for the role, and the
size/complexity of the company that is hiring. The
salaries do not include superannuation, bonuses or
benefits.
Regional variances
Due to the cost of living, availability of talent and other
factors, starting salaries vary by market. We place
candidates across Australia and use what we learn each
year to set regional variances to help you determine
pay in your area. Simply increase or decrease the
national starting salary by the percentage listed for the
various cities. The selected regions coincide with
Robert Half office locations.
