According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, full-time adult average weekly ordinary time earnings (AWOTE) were $2,051.10 in November 2025; the latest official figure, equal to roughly $106,700 a year before tax.
The ABS publishes this figure twice yearly, with the next update due in August 2026. Pay varies widely by industry, state and occupation. Beauty therapy salaries generally sit below this national average, though advanced skills and supervisory duties narrow the gap.
