Where does a logistics coordinator salary sit?

This site shows every salary as a line against the national full‑time adult ordinary‑time average. For a logistics coordinator, the Australian Bureau of Statistics does not publish a single official figure. That means we cannot give you a precise number to compare. Instead, we can show you how to read any salary — including your own — as a year, a week, and an hour, and where it falls relative to the averages and medians that are published.

The national full‑time average

The ABS Average Weekly Earnings survey for May 2026 reports that full‑time adult ordinary‑time earnings average $2,083.70 a week. Multiplied by 52 weeks, that is about $108,352 a year. This is the line that every salary on this site is measured against. If a logistics coordinator earns $90,000 a year, that is about 83% of the national full‑time average. If they earn $120,000, they are about 11% above it.

Men’s full‑time ordinary‑time average is about $113,412 a year; women’s is about $100,594. State averages also vary: 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, and the Australian Capital Territory $119,090. A logistics coordinator in Western Australia might expect higher pay than one in Tasmania, reflecting these differences.

Medians give another benchmark

The ABS Employee Earnings survey (August 2025) gives median figures that are less affected by very high or very low earners. The all‑employees median is $1,436 a week, about $74,100 a year. The full‑time median is about $90,532 a year. A logistics coordinator earning above the all‑employees median but below the full‑time average would be typical for many mid‑level roles.

Reading the same pay as a year, a week, and an hour

On this site, you enter a yearly salary before tax. The tool then shows you the equivalent weekly amount (÷ 52) and the hourly rate (÷ 52 ÷ 38, assuming a standard 38‑hour week). For example, a $90,000 salary is about $1,731 a week and $45.55 an hour. You can see instantly how that compares to the national full‑time average of $2,083.70 a week and $54.83 an hour.

If you are a logistics coordinator paid under an award, your minimum hourly rate may be set by the Transport and Logistics Award or a similar instrument. Fair Work’s Modern Awards Pay Database contains the current minimum rates. From 1 July 2026, award minimums rose by 4.75%. The national minimum wage itself is $26.44 an hour, $1,004.90 a week, or about $52,255 a year on 38 hours. Any salary above that is above the legal floor.

What about industry averages?

The ABS publishes average weekly earnings by industry. Logistics coordinators often work in Transport, Postal and Warehousing, or in Manufacturing and Wholesale Trade. The ABS does not break those industry averages down by occupation, so they are only a rough guide. For example, the Transport, Postal and Warehousing industry average for all employees (not just full‑time) was about $1,579 a week in May 2026, but that includes drivers, managers, and clerks. A logistics coordinator’s pay could be higher or lower depending on their exact role and seniority.

How to use this site

Place a salary on the line to see where your own logistics coordinator salary sits against the national full‑time average. You can also explore industry medians for the sector you work in. If you know your exact weekly or hourly rate, you can convert it to a yearly figure using the standard 38‑hour week and 52 weeks.

The bottom line

Without a published ABS figure for logistics coordinators, the best approach is to compare your own salary to the national full‑time average ($108,352), the full‑time median ($90,532), and the all‑employees median ($74,100). Use the award minimum as your floor. The site’s chart will show you the distance from the line, whether you are above, below, or right on it.
