Radiologist Salary in Australia

Radiologist pay in Australia: Sydney leads, Adelaide trails

The Australia national median for a radiologist is $691,000 a year. Among 5 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $403,000 in Adelaide to $522,000 in Sydney (1.3×).

Radiologists interpret medical images to diagnose and guide treatment of disease. Common screening skills include Imaging, Diagnosis, Anatomy, and Attention.

A modeled national band runs about $454,700–$979,800 around that midpoint. Skills lists and occupation assessments gate several of the best-paid covered roles. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +5% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Australian city.

Sydney sits -24% vs the national median; Adelaide sits -42%. Relocating inside Australia for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Australia shows about 2.9% CPI in 2025. A radiologist raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby healthcare titles on this site include Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician, and Pharmacist.
