What's a fair wage

$55.00

The creative industry has never been unionised or covered by a relevant State award, so pay rates have always been arbitrary — set by hearsay and market demand rather than anything solid. That's a problem whether you're a studio owner setting salaries, an employee wondering if you're being paid fairly, or a freelancer trying to work out what to charge.

This guide gives you real benchmark data, so you're working from actual numbers instead of guesswork — whoever's side of the pay conversation you're on.
