Retail is Australia’s second largest employing industry. It’s safe to say we definitely can’t get enough of our consumer goods – from food to fashion and electronics – and the industry is forever expanding. Due to population growth in Australia, experts claim that the retail sector is expected to sustain employment rises in the supermarket and grocery store categories. Over the past five years, employment has increased by almost 7% with the number of online and offline retailers continuing to grow.

The healthcare industry is Australia’s largest and fastest growing industry. This highly important workforce is projected to have the strongest employment growth over any other industry, supported by the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Australia’s increasingly ageing population. Now more than ever before, Australia is in need of registered nurses, aged and disability care workers, personal care workers, nursing support workers and a whole range of other roles relevant to the community services sector.

Due to Australia’s vast landscape, the country has ample space for warehousing and other industrial buildings. Hence, Australia’s manufacturing sector employs a significant number of people every year, and is the third largest employing industry in South Australia. Technicians and trade workers in the manufacturing field perform a variety of skilled tasks, applying their specialist industry knowledge to a variety of well-paying roles. Over the past five years, around 110,700 new jobs were created in manufacturing and this sector accounts for 7% of total employment.

Logistics is an industry that covers the transport, postal, warehousing and wholesale trade sectors. Over the past five years, employment in this industry has increased strongly and is expected to grow by 6.5% until May 2022. Nearly one third of this workforce holds a certificate III or higher vocational qualification, and due to the use of heavy vehicles and technical machinery, this is an industry that would benefit from more skilled workers.
