Average Sales and Marketing Coordinator Salary in Australia for 2026

How much does a sales and marketing coordinator make in Australia?

A typical sales and marketing coordinator working in Australia brings home around 4,325 AUD a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 23,600 AUD, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 85,100 AUD for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior sales and marketing coordinator working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How sales and marketing coordinator pay ranges in Australia

A good way to think about salary in Australia is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all sales and marketing coordinators in Australia earn less than 57,200 AUD a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 37,300 AUD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 73,300 AUD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of sales and marketing coordinators sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 23,600 AUD. The highest stretch to 85,100 AUD, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Sales and marketing coordinator pay by experience in Australia

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a sales and marketing coordinator in Australia, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical sales and marketing coordinator salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 53%. That is the point at which a sales and marketing coordinator typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.

Sales and marketing coordinator pay by education in Australia

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving sales and marketing coordinator pay in Australia. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Sales and marketing coordinator gender pay gap in Australia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Australia is no exception. Male sales and marketing coordinators in Australia earn an average of 51,400 AUD a year, while female sales and marketing coordinators earn around 54,100 AUD. That works out to a 5% gap in favour of women, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for a sales and marketing coordinator in Australia

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Australia sees a raise of about 11% every 15 months, which works out to roughly 9% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Australia, the national average raise is around 8% every 16 months.
