Premium Content  Capital city workers typically out-earn their regional counterparts but Australia s new-found acceptance of remote work may be closing the gap. Latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics reveal the median full-time salary in Greater Sydney was $1495 a week ($77,700 a year) compared to $1300 a week ($67,600 a year) across the rest of NSW.
