Travis Head salary: Not publicly disclosed
Travis Head is a key Australian cricketer, but his exact salary is not published in the official sources that Average line relies on. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Fair Work, and the Australian Tax Office do not release individual player contracts. Cricket Australia's central contracts and state deals are private arrangements, so we cannot provide a precise figure for Travis Head's pay from these sources.
If his salary were known, the site would show it as a yearly amount, a weekly amount (based on a 38-hour week), and an hourly rate, along with how it compares to the national full-time average. But without a public figure, we can only discuss the broader context of earnings in Australia.
Converting a yearly salary to weekly and hourly
Average line uses a standard 38-hour week to convert any yearly salary into weekly and hourly equivalents. For example, the national full-time average ordinary-time earnings of $2,083.70 a week (ABS Average Weekly Earnings, May 2026) works out to about $108,352 a year when multiplied by 52. The hourly rate is $2,083.70 ÷ 38 = $54.83 an hour. This conversion is consistent for all salaries entered on the site.
If Travis Head's salary were, say, a typical top-tier cricketer contract (which is not confirmed), it would likely be well above the national average. But we cannot speculate with a number.
How Travis Head's pay might compare
While we don't have his exact salary, we can look at the national benchmarks. The full-time adult average ordinary-time earnings are $2,083.70 a week (ABS, May 2026). The full-time median earnings are lower, at about $90,532 a year (ABS Employee earnings, August 2025). The all-employees median is about $74,100 a year. The national minimum wage from 1 July 2026 is $26.44 an hour, $1,004.90 a week, or about $52,255 a year on 38 hours.
Professional cricketers on central contracts typically earn more than the national average, but without public data, we cannot say by how much. The site's line is the national full-time average, not a sports-specific benchmark.
The national full-time average and medians
The ABS Average Weekly Earnings survey for May 2026 shows that full-time adult ordinary-time earnings rose 3.7% annually to $2,083.70 a week. This is the figure used as the line on Average line. The ABS also provides medians: the full-time median weekly earnings are about $1,741 (annualised to $90,532), and the all-employees median is about $1,425 a week ($74,100 a year). These medians are from the ABS Employee Earnings and Hours release for August 2025.
Men's full-time ordinary-time average is about $2,181 a week ($113,412 a year), and women's is about $1,934.50 a week ($100,594 a year). The gender pay gap in average weekly ordinary full-time earnings fell to 11.3% in May 2026.
State averages
Full-time average ordinary-time earnings vary by state. The on-site figures (based on ABS May 2026) are:
- New South Wales: about $109,658 a year
- Victoria: about $106,137
- Queensland: about $106,064
- South Australia: about $102,450
- Western Australia: about $115,825
- Tasmania: about $96,008
- Northern Territory: about $103,173
- Australian Capital Territory: about $119,090
Travis Head plays for South Australia and the Adelaide Strikers, so the South Australian average of about $102,450 a year is the relevant state benchmark. His actual salary is likely higher, but again, not confirmed.
Minimum wage and award rates
Fair Work sets the national minimum wage and award rates. From 1 July 2026, the national minimum wage is $26.44 an hour, $1,004.90 a week, or $52,255 a year on 38 hours. Award minimums rose by 4.75% in the same adjustment. Cricket Australia's contracts are not covered by awards, so these rates do not apply to Travis Head.
