How much do Australian Financial Planners make?

From ATO data for 2016/17 available via a SMH article the following breakdown of 'Financial Planner' taxable income by tax bracket:

2.69% earned up to $18,200 (537 people) - average income: $13,785
7.27% earned in range $18,201 - $37,000 (1,453 people) - average income: $32,320
38.91% earned in range $37,001 - $87,000 (7,775 people) - average income: $68,848
35.55% earned in range $87,001 - $180,000 (7,102) people) - average income: $130,107
15.58% earned over $180,000 (3,113 people) - average income: $409,680

Overall, about half the 'financial planner' taxpayers had a taxable income under $87,000, and roughly 15% had a taxable income above $180,000.

Average full-time taxable income for this job category is $132,694

And the total number of taxpayers with title 'Financial Planner' was 19,980 - this probably is lower than than the actual number of financial planners, as some registered planners (like me) may have multiple jobs and the job title reported is for their main source of income.
