Adviser salary guide: For what it's worth

This report, developed in partnership with Business Health, represents the most detailed and up-to-date picture of Australian advice remuneration and compensation currently available on the market.

The last time this research was conducted was in 2023, and it’s clear that two years can make a world of difference in such a fast-moving industry. At a glance, we can see that: 

• demand for new talent, particularly experienced advisers, client service managers and support staff, has driven up pay packages for these roles by 23%, 20% and 17% respectively
  
  
• the average bonus payment across all roles has increased by 98%, reflecting a marked shift away from salary as the primary tool to effect change 
  
  
• remote work provisions have dropped from 92% to 88% as many firms adopt RTO policies.
