Addressing Australia’s skills shortage

As Australia continues to battle a long-standing shortage of skilled workers, experts are asking whether migration is the best approach to solving the country’s labour crisis. 

On Monday, the federal government announced construction managers, nurses and chefs are among just some of the top 10 jobs most in demand over the next five years in Australia. 

The release of the list comes ahead of the government’s jobs and skills summit, to be held in Canberra on 1 and 2 September. It’s aimed at tackling the current shortages.  

According to the government’s Skill Priority List, the ‘jobs of the future’ that are expected to remain hot in demand are: 

  • Construction managers
  • Civil engineering professionals
  • Early childhood teachers
  • Registered nurses
  • Software and applications programmers
  • Electricians
  • Chefs
  • Child carers
  • Aged and disability carers
  • ICT (information and communications technology) business  
  • and systems analysts
