Australia is the largest SAP market in the region and the most contract-driven. Programmes start, scale and stand down on a rhythm that rewards consultants who are already known to the right recruiters before a role is advertised.
Morgan Campbell has recruited SAP talent across Australia since 2003, working with end users, systems integrators and specialist consultancies on permanent, contract and fixed-term hires.
A significant share of Australian SAP hiring is contract-based, driven by S/4HANA conversions, cloud migrations and continuous improvement programmes. Rates are competitive and duration varies enormously by client.
We will always tell you the real position on extension and budget before you interview, not after you have resigned from something else.
Permanent hiring in Australia tends to concentrate in established end-user organisations building long-term capability — finance systems teams, supply chain platforms and HR transformation groups.
For permanent candidates we focus on the things that do not appear in the advert: reporting lines, internal mobility, the state of the SAP roadmap and why the previous incumbent left.
Australia is a common destination for SAP professionals from New Zealand, the UK, South Africa and Asia. Visa pathways vary by client and role, and some employers will only consider candidates with existing Australian work rights.
Tell us your status early and we will focus your applications on clients who can genuinely move forward.
Some, but it depends on the employer and the role. Many Australian clients require existing work rights because permanent sponsorship is slow and costly. Others — particularly on large contract programmes — will consider strong international candidates. Be transparent about your visa position and we will target the clients who can actually hire you.
Sydney and Melbourne carry the deepest SAP markets, followed by Brisbane, Canberra and Perth. Canberra has steady demand through government and defence programmes, while Perth skews towards resources and utilities.
Yes. Contract recruitment is a core part of our Australian work, from short remediation engagements through to multi-year S/4HANA programmes.
