Good salaries for the right people – recruiter

An insurance broker in Perth will earn $70,000-$100,000, according to the latest salary survey by recruitment consultants Robert Walters.

An insurance claims manager will earn the same, while an insurance account handler will be paid $45,000-$60,000.

The recruiter is expecting financial services jobs to increase across most regions in Australia during the next three months.

In Melbourne strong jobs growth is predicted in health insurance companies, but a growing shortage of senior financial planners will be felt in Brisbane and Melbourne, Roberts Walters says.

For these financial planners, big salary increases and multiple counter offers will be the norm.

A senior financial planner in Brisbane is expected to earn $90,000-$125,000 a year. In Melbourne the salary range is $100,000-$130,000, in Adelaide more than $90,000 and in Perth $90,000-$120,000.

A paraplanner can expect to earn $50,000-$75,000 in Brisbane, $50,000-$70,000 in Melbourne, $50,000-$80,000 in Perth and more than $65,000 in Adelaide.
