DerivedIndicative estimate, not yet verified against official Jobs and Skills Australia / ABS data · Estimate
- Most health information managers are paid under public health service enterprise agreements or a hospital's own salary structure, so the sector you work in moves your pay more than the job title does.
- State health departments and large hospitals generally pay above private clinics and smaller providers, and a role carrying management or system implementation responsibility sits higher again.
- Location plays a part in a general way, since the same job can pay differently in a capital city health service than in a regional one.
The median salary rose by $22,100 between 2018 and 2024; the dashed line shows a projection to 2028 based on the real ABS Wage Price Index growth rate, not a role-specific forecast.

How to negotiate a higher health information manager salary
- Know the market rate before you ask. The median full-time health information manager salary is $104,000; use that, not a guess, as your anchor, and adjust for your experience and employer.
- Lead with what's scarce, not just tenure. Skills like Medical administration and records and Data analysis tend to command a premium over general health information manager experience, name them specifically when you ask.
- Bring a real alternative to the table. Policy and Planning Manager pays a typical $49,100 a year more and draws on similar skills, even mentioning you're weighing it up is a legitimate data point in a pay conversation.
- Time it deliberately. Reviews, the end of a project you delivered, or taking on responsibility beyond your job description are stronger moments to ask than an arbitrary date on the calendar.
- Ask for a number, not a raise. "Based on the market rate and [specific contribution], I'd like to move to X" gets a clearer answer than "I think I deserve more."
