More than a salary survey. This is a practical, step-by-step remuneration workbook built specifically for Australian veterinary practices.
The Australian Veterinary Practice Salary Benchmarking & Remuneration Guide 2026/27 brings together current salary benchmarks, Award minimums, competency frameworks and real-world remuneration strategies in one practical resource you can use in your clinic right now.
Because knowing the market rate is only the beginning.
Where should this person actually sit within the range? What justifies their next pay rise? How do you reward an experienced nurse without making management their only progression pathway? What happens when a new recruit wants more than your existing team? And how do you have a pay conversation when the answer isn't simply “yes”?
This guide takes you step-by-step through the process, helping you:
benchmark salaries across your veterinary team
determine where an individual should sit within a salary range
assess competency, responsibility and progression
prepare for and structure salary-review conversations
set meaningful objectives for the next salary step
manage salary compression and internal equity
navigate recruitment and salary negotiation
explore incentives and additional earning opportunities
balance competitive salaries with what your practice can sustainably afford
use the included printable workbook to work through remuneration decisions consistently
Veterinary medicine has talked about pay, progression and retention for a long time. This guide is designed to help practices move beyond the conversation and actually do something about it.
27 pages | FY2026/27 Australian Edition | $199
Includes material author updates and corrections released during the 2026/27 financial year.
