💰 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.

What a tv mounting costs in Melbourne
Double brick and brick-veneer dominate Melbourne's housing, so whether cables can be hidden depends on what is behind the plaster: a veneer stud wall takes a concealed run easily, while a solid double-brick wall means chasing or a surface conduit. Period Victorian and Edwardian homes add lath, old plaster and sometimes heritage care, so an installer earns the fee working carefully around original fabric rather than cutting freely.
The city has one of the largest pools of installers in the country, so a simple fixed or tilting mount is genuinely competitive and easy to shop around. Labour runs high, a touch under Sydney, so the premium shows up on the bigger jobs: a large motorised bracket, a recessed box and a tidy concealed run on a brick wall is where the Melbourne quote separates from a quick surface mount.

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.
