Our read
Opportunity
FairIn shortage in at least one part of the country this year, but it hasn't been a persistent nationwide shortage.
Getting in
Steady buildThe standard route is a diploma or a Certificate III/IV — often an apprenticeship, where you're paid to learn on the job over a few years.
These read the occupation Australia-wide, and they're our analysis of the official data — not a Jobs and Skills Australia rating. How we work these out.
Getting in
Training level 3. Certificate IV, or Certificate III plus at least two years on-the-job training. The training route is the same wherever you live — what changes by state is the demand at the end of it.
Will AI replace it?
A lot of this work is routine and screen-based. That's exactly what automation and generative AI are getting good at, so it's worth weighing against more AI-resilient paths.
