🚨 Is there a career divide emerging within the admin profession?

Across workplaces, we’re seeing two very different experiences. Some administrative professionals are being trusted with bigger projects, invited into important conversations and becoming increasingly influential within their organisations.

Others, despite being talented, experienced and hardworking, feel stuck. They’re working harder than ever but not seeing the same opportunities for growth, visibility or progression.

So what’s driving the difference?

It’s not intelligence.
It’s not experience.
And it’s certainly not work ethic.

The workplace is changing rapidly. Technology, AI and evolving business expectations are reshaping what value looks like in administrative roles.

In our latest Admin Avenues blog, we explore:

· Why some admin professionals are thriving while others feel stuck · The skills becoming more valuable in today’s workplace · Why visibility and influence matter more than ever · How AI is changing the profession · What you can do now to future-proof your career

The future of the admin profession is full of opportunity, but those opportunities are increasingly going to those who are willing to evolve alongside the role.

A reminder that the 2026 Administrative Professionals Salary Survey closes tomorrow (Thursday 11 June), and if you haven’t completed it yet, I really encourage you to make the time 🙏🏼

This report plays such an important role in building greater transparency around salaries, responsibilities, career progression and the evolving scope of admin roles, particularly here in Australia.

It’s anonymous, takes just 5 minutes, and the final report will be free for the admin community to access.

I know surveys can feel easy to skip, but this one genuinely matters. The more administrative professionals who contribute, the stronger the data becomes for all of us.

What a fantastic way to spend Friday and Saturday as a guest of the experiencing an exceptional famil hosted by Dreamworld, SkyPoint and The Star Gold Coast.

From the moment we arrived at , it was clear this was going to be something special. We began with Sky Voyager before touring the park’s diverse event and function spaces, followed by lunch at Jane’s Rivertown Restaurant and a visit to the lions, koalas, dingoes and crocodiles. Who knew Dreamworld offered so much more than rides?

We then headed to for a tour of the impressive Event Centre before making our way to , where sunset drinks and canapés overlooking the Gold Coast set the scene for an incredible evening. The day concluded with a beautifully curated three-course dinner, paired with exceptional wines, in the private dining room at 🥂

The thoughtful gifts and handwritten notes waiting in our rooms were a lovely touch and reflected the care that had gone into every detail of the experience.

The following morning, we enjoyed an incredible breakfast in the Penthouse of The Darling and were privileged to hear from the Interim CEO, who shared her career journey and insights into the hospitality industry, an inspiring way to conclude two unforgettable days.

As someone who books venues and experiences professionally, it was invaluable to experience firsthand the calibre of hospitality, venues and event offerings available on the Gold Coast.

🙏🏼 A huge thank you to Nyla, Renee, Lee, Andy and Bryson for their incredible planning and hospitality. Every detail was thoughtfully considered and deeply appreciated.

I left feeling inspired by the quality of the experiences, the attention to detail and the passion of the teams behind them. I can’t wait for the opportunity to bring a future event to life across these remarkable venues 🤩

The 2026 Administrative Professionals Salary Survey is now live, and from an Australian admin perspective, I cannot stress enough how important it is that we participate in initiatives like this 🙌🏼

For too long, our profession has lacked clear, credible data around salaries, titles, responsibilities and how our roles are evolving, particularly with the impact of AI now changing the workplace in real time.

This survey helps create a more accurate picture of what administrative professionals are actually doing, being paid and expected to deliver across Australia and globally. It is also the only independent salary report dedicated to administrative professionals.

The survey is completely anonymous, takes just 5 minutes to complete, and the final report will be free to download for the admin community.

Most importantly? Without participation, there is no report. The more administrative professionals who contribute, the stronger and more valuable the data becomes for all of us.

If you work in admin, executive support or business support, I strongly encourage you to take part and share it with your networks. The insights gathered genuinely matter for the future of the profession 💙
