Age counts days since the employer published the posting. Around a third of sources publish only a coarse date such as “30+ days ago”, so the older end of this distribution is less precise than the recent end. It is the most-cited signal that a role may not be actively filled — a signal, not a verdict.

Fewer than one posting in six publishes a range here, and the ones that do are not a random sample. Treat these figures as indicative of the disclosing minority, not of the market.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How many controller jobs are open in Australia?

We track controller openings published in Australia, refreshed continuously. The count at the top of this page is the current total. Job postings read directly from company applicant tracking systems.

What does a controller earn in Australia?

The median advertised salary is shown above, alongside the 25th, 75th and 90th percentiles. Only postings that publish a salary are included, so the sample is smaller than the total number of openings.

How do I get this data through an API?

Every number on this page comes from one call to our jobs and insights endpoints. See the API documentation for the request shape and filters.

Figures cover 17,003 postings collected from public company career pages and applicant tracking systems, last recomputed 2026-09-02. “Posted N days ago” counts from the date the employer published the listing, not from when we first saw it. A posting that has been up for months is a common sign it is not being actively filled — though a long-lived listing is a signal, not a verdict. How we measure this →
