Salary packages for deans and senior deputy deans australian medical schools

Hi there, and thank you for your request about the salary packages for deans and senior deputy deans in Australian universities, specifically medical schools. Below you will find information from the salary scales of the Group of Eight universities in Australia.

The short answer is that salaries for deans and associate deans in Australian universities, particularly in those that belong to the Group of Eight, range from AUS$165,000 to AUS$195,000 annually.

I elaborate on my findings below.

METHODOLOGY
In order to answer your query, I looked at each of the Group of Eight universities human resources department information, and consulted their salary scales for 2017 - which for some of them are already in force, whereas others will implement it later in the year.

Below I list the salaries that would correspond to a dean or associate dean, which would correspond to a level 5 professor (as pointed out in the University of Sydney dossier on salaries, professorships and responsibilities for each position). I also double checked these numbers with independent job boards and employment sites such as Neuvoo, which listed salaries for specific dean positions for the Australian National University and the University of Queensland and fell within the parameters of the salary scales of the other universities.

Please note that these salaries are not specific to medical schools, but across the board for each university. These salaries are also minimums for each level, so if there is any change between schools it would be higher than the salary package listed below.

SALARIES PACKAGES IN THE GROUP OF EIGHT
As of 2017, salaries for level E professors in the Group of Eight are as follows.

Australian National University, dean: AUS$164,647
University of Queensland, associate dean: AUS$175,071
University of Adelaide: AUS$178,851
Monash University: AUS$181,066
University of Western Australia: AUS$182,804
University of New South Wales: AUS$188,679
University of Sydney: AUS$193,816
University of Melbourne: AUS$193,982

Therefore, the minimum salary for a dean in a school, including medicine, in a Group of Eight university in Australia will be just shy of AUS$165,000. Median is around AUS$182,000, and average salary reaches AUS$182,364.

These salaries are subject to an annual raise of between 3 and 3.5%, depending on the university and the agreement signed with them.

In universities other than the Group of Eight, salaries are lower - including for schools of medicine. The University of Western Sydney, for example, which as of March 2017 is looking for a dean for its school of medicine, lists the salary at AUS$68,123.


To wrap up, salaries for deans and associate deans in the Group of Eight universities in Australia range from AUS$165,000 to AUS$195,000 annually.
