TV Mounting Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of professional TV wall mounting in Australia.
💰 Ways to save
- Get an itemised quote — a bundled 'from $X' price almost always excludes the bracket and any new power point. Supplying your own fixed bracket ($20–$70) avoids the installer's markup, while a tidy external painted conduit ($30–$70) costs a fraction of in-wall concealment ($80–$150).
- You cannot legally bury an ordinary power lead in the wall — the compliant options are an electrician-fitted recessed power point or a certified recessed connection kit, and any in-wall HDMI must be cavity-rated (CL2/CL3) cable, not standard lead, for fire and insurance reasons.
How we estimate this
TV wall mounting in 2026 is priced largely by screen size: a 32–50" TV is $120–$180 to mount, a 55–65" $180–$240, a 70–85" $240–$350, and 85"+ $300–$450. Fixed-price basic offers start around $199, and a full home-theatre fit-out runs $450–$900. The bracket is usually a separate line — a fixed bracket is $20–$70 supplied, a tilt $40–$120, and a heavy full-motion articulating arm $100–$350 plus its own install surcharge.

Understanding tv mounting costs in Australia
TV wall mounting in 2026 is priced largely by screen size: a 32–50" TV is $120–$180 to mount, a 55–65" $180–$240, a 70–85" $240–$350, and 85"+ $300–$450. Fixed-price basic offers start around $199, and a full home-theatre fit-out runs $450–$900. The bracket is usually a separate line — a fixed bracket is $20–$70 supplied, a tilt $40–$120, and a heavy full-motion articulating arm $100–$350 plus its own install surcharge.
Cabling and the wall behind the TV move the price more than people expect. A basic tidy is $0–$20, an external painted conduit $30–$70, and concealing cables inside the wall $80–$150 because of the cutting and patching. A new recessed power point behind the TV is $120–$220 and must be done by a licensed electrician. Wall type adds too: plasterboard over timber studs is baseline, brick or concrete adds $20–$60, metal studs $50–$80, and Hebel or AAC $80–$120.
The fixing is what actually keeps your TV on the wall, so the rules matter. Plasterboard alone won't hold a TV — the mount has to hit timber or metal studs, and where the studs don't line up you need a backing spreader. A full-motion cantilever puts real leverage on the wall, so under-spec fixings sag over time, and on brick you must anchor into solid brick, never the mortar joints. Sydney and Perth carry the dearest base rates; Hobart, Darwin and Adelaide the cheapest.
Frequently asked questions
How much does TV mounting cost?
Roughly $120–$180 for a 32–50" TV in 2026, $180–$240 for 55–65", $240–$350 for 70–85", and $300–$450 for 85"+. The bracket and any new power point are usually separate line items.
Can cables be hidden inside the wall?
Yes, but it costs $80–$150 because of cutting and patching, and any in-wall HDMI must be cavity-rated cable. An ordinary power lead can't legally be buried — you need an electrician-fitted recessed power point. A surface conduit at $30–$70 is the cheaper route.
Will the mount hold on plasterboard?
Not on plasterboard alone — the bracket must be fixed into timber or metal studs, with a backing spreader if the studs don't line up. Heavy full-motion arms need the strongest fixings, and on brick you anchor into solid brick, not mortar.
