The Cost
What a Social Media Manager costs in Melbourne — vs EverestX.
Melbourne is one of the most expensive places in Australia to hire marketing: a full-time in-house specialist runs A$75,000–A$100,000+ plus 11.5% superannuation and payroll tax, and a Melbourne agency retainer costs A$3,000–A$8,000+ a month per channel. EverestX places an equally-vetted full-time specialist from about $1,700/month ($10–12/hr) — no agency margin, no super or on-costs, and your own dedicated marketer rather than a fraction of an account manager’s week.

Why EverestX
Why Melbourne companies hire social media managers with EverestX.
A fraction of a Melbourne agency retainer
Melbourne single-channel agency retainers commonly run A$3,000–A$8,000+ a month. EverestX places a dedicated, vetted full-time specialist from roughly $1,700/month, working only on your business — not a slice of a shared account.
No Australian salary, super, or on-costs
A full-time Melbourne marketer costs A$75,000–A$100,000+ plus 11.5% super, payroll tax, and CBD overhead. EverestX is one simple hourly rate — no super, no leave loading, no on-costs.

FAQ
Hiring a Social Media Manager in Melbourne — your questions.
Will the talent work in Melbourne hours?
+
Yes. We match you with specialists who commit to meaningful overlap with Melbourne business hours (AEST/AEDT) — many overlap your mornings — so standups, calls, and daily collaboration work normally.
How much does it cost to hire a marketer in Melbourne through EverestX?
+
Full-time placements are $10–12/hr (roughly $1,700–$2,100/month), part-time $14–16/hr — far below a Melbourne salary or agency retainer, with no recruitment fees and no 11.5% super or payroll tax on top.
How is this different from a Melbourne marketing agency?
+
A Melbourne agency gives you a slice of a shared account on a fixed retainer. EverestX gives you a dedicated, vetted specialist working only on your business — at a fraction of a typical Melbourne retainer, with no long lock-in.
How fast can I hire?
+
We typically shortlist pre-vetted specialists within 48 hours, so you can be interviewing the same week instead of spending weeks on Seek ads and screening.
What if the specialist isn’t the right fit?
+
EverestX includes a replacement guarantee — if a placement isn’t working out we’ll rematch you with another vetted specialist, so hiring carries almost no risk.
Are the specialists based in Melbourne?
+
EverestX talent is remote and globally sourced, vetted to a high bar, and matched to overlap your Melbourne hours (AEST/AEDT) — live collaboration and fluent English without Melbourne salary, super, or agency rates.
