With the release of new data about which jobs the country needs most, the Australian government has once again identified an ICT skills shortage.
The National Skills Commission (NSC) released its first Skills Priority Occupation List, measuring the current and projected future demand for 800 jobs listed under the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO).
Almost 10 percent of the jobs in the highest demand category are in IT, indicating a current national shortage and a strong future demand.
A multimedia specialist, a developer programmer, a software engineer, an information security specialist, and an ICT support engineer are some examples of these roles.
These jobs also appear on the government’s Priority Migration Skilled Occupations List – a list of jobs the government is targeting for its migration program.
ICT-specific roles were added to the list in recent month.
The migration priority list does not include all jobs categorized as currently in national shortage, which underscores how the growing demand for ICT skills is not necessarily being met by local training.
Similarly, accountants, surveyors, and engineers are all occupations with national shortages that the government aims to fill with migrants. However, trades like chefs, electricians, and butchers, which have skills shortages, are not prioritized for migration.
A recent speech by Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe discussed migration as a factor affecting wage growth – sometimes negatively – although continuing high wages for IT jobs indicate it has been less influential.
By hiring overseas workers, firms can hire the people they need to operate effectively and expand and invest, Lowe said.
Several businesses and industries have benefited from foreign workers during the resources boom.
“Australia would have produced less if it lacked this capability.”
According to the NSC’s priority list, there will continue to be a demand for IT skills in the coming years.
System and network administrators, web developers, and software testers are among the IT roles without recognized national shortages but for which the NSC anticipates strong demand in the future.
Another job in that category – analyst programmer – is on the priority migration list despite that lack of shortage.
IT-related jobs with the lowest priority classifications are more business-focused positions such as ICT account managers, ICT business development managers, and ICT sales representatives. Current shortages and future demand for each of these roles are moderate.
According to the NSC, Australia does not have a shortage of agricultural and farm workers, nor are they in demand in the future, at the bottom of the skilled occupation list.
Machine operators, emergency service workers, firefighters, detectives, police officers, and debt collectors are also in high demand, though demand is expected to soften in the future for each occupation.
At the bottom of the list, movie projectionists, and television and radio presenters all have soft future demand, which echoes broader technological and social changes.
