Health care industry

With rising life expectancy and an older population, Australia requires a large number of healthcare personnel.

According to statistics, roughly 13% of Australians are above the age of 65, which grew to 15% in 2017. This number is expected to reach 20% by 2037, illustrating the tale of the ageing population. As a result, more aged care and other health care specialists are required.

 In addition, the national disability insurance scheme has resulted in an increase in the number of disability careers.

The job roles that will be in demand in this sector are registered nurses, physiotherapists, and  carers for the aged and disabled.

Construction industry

In the future, the construction business will bring numerous options. The construction sector will require a large number of specialized qualified employees due to the existing demand for greater infrastructure and an increase in housing demand.

There will be a demand for civil engineers.

 Education industry

Since the beginning of Australia's population boom, the need for educators has been steadily increasing, indicating that we will require a large number of educators in the future.

Education is also Australia's third-largest export, contributing an annual average of $32 billion to the economy. Over the last ten years, the education industry has grown at a rate of 2.7 percent, significantly greater than the national average in Australia.

There will be a demand for primary teachers, childcare educators and university lecturers.

Sector	Average annual salary
Education sector	97,000 dollars
Construction	96,000 dollars
Healthcare	87,500 dollars
Professional, Scientific and Technical Services	97,000 dollars

Professional, Scientific and Technical Services industry

With the advancement of technology, there will undoubtedly be a large number of employment openings in the IT, technical, and scientific fields. Because new technologies are becoming more accessible, more job roles will emerge.

The workforce is highly skilled, with the majority of employees holding a bachelor's degree. The majority of occupations are full-time and concentrated in major cities. Because of the additional education necessary, this industry has fewer young workers.
