Jacinta Allan Salary: Context and Comparisons
Jacinta Allan is the Premier of Victoria, a role whose remuneration is set by the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal. The provided sources—the ABS Average Weekly Earnings report and the Fair Work Commission's Modern Awards Pay Database—do not contain her specific salary. However, we can place her likely pay in context using the national full-time average and other benchmarks from the on-site notes.
The National Full-Time Average as a Reference
The ABS Average Weekly Earnings, May 2026, reports that full-time adult ordinary-time earnings average $2,083.70 per week, or about $108,352 per year (multiplied by 52). This is the line used by Average line. For comparison, the public sector full-time average total earnings are $2,331.70 per week, approximately $121,248 annually. As a state premier, Jacinta Allan's salary would typically be above the national average but within the public sector range.
State Averages and Victoria
Victoria's full-time average ordinary-time earnings are $2,041.10 per week, or about $106,137 per year. This is slightly below the national average. The Premier's salary is likely set above this state average, reflecting the responsibilities of the office. For a resident earning the national average in Victoria, the take-home pay after tax and Medicare levy would be roughly $81,918, using the 2026–27 tax rates: nil up to $18,200, 15% to $45,000, 30% to $135,000, plus 2% Medicare.
Medians and Minimum Wage
The full-time median is about $90,532 (ABS Employee earnings, August 2025), and the all-employees median is about $74,100. The national minimum wage from 1 July 2026 is $26.44 per hour, $1,004.90 per week, or $52,255 per year on a 38-hour week. Award minimums rose 4.75% in the same period. Jacinta Allan's salary would be well above all these figures, consistent with a senior executive role in the public sector.
How the Figures Are Set
Premiers' salaries are not set by the ABS or Fair Work but by state remuneration tribunals. The on-site notes provide the national full-time average as a benchmark.
