Our read
Opportunity
StrongIn shortage nationally this year, and it's been short for most of the last five — steady demand, not a blip.
Getting in
Big commitmentThe standard route is a bachelor degree or higher — several years of full-time study before you're earning in the field.
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 1. Bachelor degree or higher. The training route is the same wherever you live — what changes by state is the demand at the end of it.
Why it's in shortage — and how hard it is to break in
Not enough people finish the long training
The qualification takes years — a degree or a full apprenticeship / Certificate III or above — so trained people can't appear overnight. Hard to get in quickly, but if you start the training now, you're heading somewhere the queue is short at the other end.

Will AI replace it?
Some parts could be automated; others are harder to replace. Expect AI to take on the routine pieces over time, while the hands-on, judgement-heavy parts stay human. How it lands depends on the specific role.
