Two HR Business Partners can share the same title, yet be paid $30,000 apart 👀
However, that doesn’t necessarily mean one is underpaid. More often, it’s the context behind the role that’s different.

One might be leading a broad remit in a large listed organisation, the other a single function in a growing business. Scope, complexity, ownership and industry all shape where someone sits in the range.

That’s why our 2026/27 HR Salary Guide pairs salary benchmarks with the context behind it, built from the experiences of 1,100+ HR professionals across Australia.

A big thanks to the team at Let's Roam for helping us bring it all together! 💜

After hearing from more than 1,100 HR and People professionals across Australia, our 2026/27 HR Salary Guide is officially live.

Inside the Guide, we've unpacked the numbers behind the Australian HR market, including salary benchmarks across roles and seniority levels, what's influencing pay, where the market is moving and what it all means for HR professionals and employers.

For clients and candidates alike, it's a good reminder that the right approach isn't always one-size-fits-all. 🎬
