Data Analyst Salary in Adelaide — $109k Median

This is the lowest median of any page on the shortlist — $109k, $11k below the national Data Analyst figure ($120k) — and the only page where listing volume moved backward: 22 listings in August fell to 12 in September, a drop of 10. The sample size itself is healthy (43, the second-largest city sample here after Sydney Data Engineer), so the figure is reliable; it's the trend, not the measurement, that's soft.

South Australian government and defence employers dominate hiring: SA Health (10 of 117 matching listings), South Australia Health Careers (6), BAE Systems (5), Department of Human Services SA (3), ASC (3) and Department for Environment and Water SA (3) — almost entirely public-sector and defence-industry hiring, a narrower employer base than any other Data Analyst city page.

The honest line for this page is that Adelaide Data Analyst pay is below the national median and listings are currently shrinking, not growing — worth saying directly rather than defaulting to the growth framing used elsewhere. One month of data isn't a trend on its own; revisit after the next ingestion cycle.
