What broking businesses advertise to pay
The median advertised package for a mortgage broker was $110,000 across 130 direct-employer ads between 23 February and 25 August 2026. Credit and assessment roles came in at $103,750 across 32 ads, and broker support at $85,000 across 100. All three sit inside the bands in FinTalent's FY26/27 salary guide.
Median advertised package, by role
Direct employers only, with agency and franchise-branded ads excluded because neither tells you what the hiring business decided to pay. Only role families with at least thirty advertised salaries are shown; below that a single ad moves the median several thousand dollars.

How this was counted
The ads come from a standing national search of Seek for Australian broking and finance roles, running since February 2026 and captured daily. 1,038 ads are held for the window, 58.5 per cent of them caught on the day they were posted. Titles are free text, 516 distinct spellings across those ads, so every role figure is grouped into families by a published rule set before it is counted. Recruitment agency and franchise-branded ads are separated out and excluded from anything attributed to an employer, because neither tells you what the hiring business decided.
Advertised salary is what an employer said it would pay, not what anyone was paid. Roughly two ads in five name no figure at all, and an ad that withholds the number is not a random ad, so read the medians as the disclosed end of the market. Broker packages are frequently quoted on target including commission, so the $110,000 is not a base salary.
