Skills Priority List: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Access data on high-demand tech roles and career outlooks to help plan your professional development and long-term career in Australia.
The Skills Priority List provides data regarding which roles are currently in high demand and facing skills shortages across Australia.
Who it's for
This resource is intended for professionals who are looking to understand the long-term career outlooks of various industries. It is particularly useful for individuals who need to make informed decisions about their professional development or those looking to align their skills with the current needs of the Australian workforce.
What you get
By accessing this resource, you get access to detailed data regarding which specific tech roles are currently in high demand across Australia. This information identifies where "skills shortages" are occurring, meaning there is a gap between the number of people available and the number of jobs available. This data helps you identify which sectors are growing and which technical roles are considered "in-demand," allowing you to better navigate your career path.
What it costs you
There is no financial cost to access this information. The reports are provided for free to the public to assist with workforce planning and individual career decisions.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that this list is not static. The information changes annually to reflect the shifting needs of the national economy. Because the data is updated once a year, you must always check for the latest version to ensure that the information you are using to plan your career is current and accurate.
