LAUNCHES WEDNESDAY 20 AUGUST 2025

INVITATION TO FOLLOW  

As the Australian data, insights and research industry body dedicated to employers and businesses, ADIA is committed to providing members with specific and exclusive benchmarking information.

We are pleased to launch the 2025 Salary Survey – an annual initiative conducted by ADIA that is the ideal opportunity to analyse your staff against the market. Now providing up to ten years of comparative data, the Salary Survey Report is a valuable resource for benchmarking staff remuneration and enabling you to be fully informed of sector trends and insights.

THE INVITATION 

ADIA invites all members to take part in our annual salary survey. Every submission makes our data stronger, and we encourage you to share what’s happening with pay, benefits, and trends in our industry. 

To gain even greater industry benchmarking results, the Salary Survey is open to the broader industry, thereby increasing the sample size and validity of the data. 

• An invitation will be sent from adia-salarysurvey@aus.hxplatform.com

ADIA thanks the Benchmarking Committee for updating this year's questionnaire to include new fields such as:

• Whether companies are providing salary increases
