Jock Landale salary and the Australian full-time average
Jock Landale is an Australian professional basketball player who currently plays in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in the United States. His salary is not reported in the Australian official statistics that we use to measure earnings—namely the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Fair Work, and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Because his income comes from a US-based employer and is not captured by Australian earnings surveys, we cannot provide a precise figure or place it directly against the national full-time average.
What the ABS says about Australian full-time earnings
The ABS publishes Average Weekly Earnings twice a year, for May and November. The latest release (May 2026) shows that full-time adult ordinary-time earnings averaged $2,083.70 per week. Multiplied by 52 weeks, that equals about $108,352 a year. This is the figure we use as the "line" on this site. It is an average, meaning half of full-time workers earn less and half earn more. The median full-time earnings (from the ABS Employee Earnings survey, August 2025) are about $90,532 a year, and the median for all employees (including part-time) is about $74,100.
For context, the national minimum wage from 1 July 2026 is $26.44 per hour, or $1,004.90 per week on a 38-hour week, which works out to about $52,255 a year. Award minimums rose by 4.75% from that date.
Why Jock Landale's salary isn't in these figures
The ABS surveys Australian employers and employees within Australia. Jock Landale is employed by an NBA team in the United States, so his earnings are not included in the ABS Average Weekly Earnings survey. Similarly, Fair Work's minimum wage and award rates apply to Australian workplaces, not to overseas employment. The ATO would only see his income if he files an Australian tax return, but his salary details are not publicly available from that source.
NBA player salaries are typically reported by US sports media and are often expressed in US dollars. They are generally far higher than the Australian full-time average, but without a confirmed figure from an official Australian source, we cannot give a specific comparison.
How to think about comparing overseas earnings to Australian averages
If you have a salary from overseas, you can still use the Australian full-time average as a benchmark. Convert the amount to Australian dollars using current exchange rates, then compare it to the ABS figure of $108,352 a year. Keep in mind that cost of living, tax rates, and superannuation differ between countries. The Australian tax system for 2026–27 has a tax-free threshold of $18,200, then rates of 15%, 30%, 37%, and 45%, plus a 2% Medicare levy. NBA salaries are subject to US federal and state taxes, which are structured differently.
State-by-state full-time averages
If you want to compare against a specific state, the ABS provides full-time average ordinary-time earnings by state and territory. The on-site notes give these annualised figures (×52):
- New South Wales: $109,658
- Victoria: $106,137
- Queensland: $106,064
- South Australia: $102,450
- Western Australia: $115,825
- Tasmania: $96,008
- Northern Territory: $103,173
- Australian Capital Territory: $119,090
These are averages, not medians. They can be useful for a rough comparison, but remember that Jock Landale's salary is not part of these data.
What this site can do for you
This site is designed to show where a given salary sits against the Australian full-time average. For most Australian workers, we can pull data from the ABS, Fair Work, and the ATO to give you a clear picture. If you have a salary figure, you can place a salary on the line to see how it compares. You can also explore job medians and industry medians for more context.
For Jock Landale, we simply don't have the data. If his salary were publicly available from an Australian source, we would include it. Until then, the best we can say is that NBA salaries are generally well above the Australian full-time average, but we cannot give a precise number.
