Podcast Rate Card

1. How we created the rate card
In order to create fair compensation and support the growth of the Australian podcast industry, a consortium of industry leaders, professionals, and content creators has established new industry standards for podcast rates. These standards aim to ensure that freelancers working in podcasting receive equitable compensation for their knowledge, valuable contributions and expertise.
How we created the rate card
These rates were developed through extensive industry consultation. They reflect freelancers need to cover their own entitlements such as leave and superannuation. They take into account such factors as the cost of living, the market rate, rates in similar industries, and rates in the podcast industry overseas.
How to use the rate card
The following information outlines the recommended rates for a freelancer working in the Australian podcast industry to charge a client per hour. Years of experience denotes years in the podcasting industry or other applicable roles. While these are hourly rates we encourage people in the podcast industry to charge by the half day.
List of Supporters
The following people have signed on to publicly support the rate card. They have collectively worked with most of the major podcasting production companies in Australia including ABC, SBS, Listnr, The Wheeler Centre, ARN and The Guardian; and many international outlets including the BBC, NPR, Audible, Wondery, TED and Radiotopia.
Show your solidarity by signing the rate card.
