The Commonwealth Government’s recent 2015 Intergenerational Report projects that by 2055, the government will be spending twice as much on healthcare per person, and over three times more on aged care per person.
Unsurprisingly, continued growth in the healthcare sector will also mean continued demand for particular specialities and niche skills.
Department of Employment data and the Hays Quarterly Report on Healthcare indicate that the following occupations are in high demand:
It’s the reason a recent SEEK Job Growth Report identified construction as one of its top six industries hiring employees in 2015, with the Department of Employment Australian Jobs 2014 report noting a stronger demand for trade workers, particularly those working in construction.
In short, it means more jobs and continued demand for specialist trades, particularly for those who have experience working on residential and commercial projects.
Based on the Hays Quarterly Report on the construction industry, the Department of Employment 2014 Skill Shortage report and the National Skills Needs List, these are the occupations that are currently in demand:
In 2013, ABS statistics showed that we welcomed 6.5 million international tourists to our shores. In 2033, Deloitte forecasts this number will double to 13.6 million international visitors. The government has acknowledged tourism as vital to our economy, and through its Tourism 2020 initiative aims to nurture this rapidly growing industry.
This will mean more jobs, more business opportunities and a greater need for skilled workers in the industry. This trend will also increase demand for hospitality workers to service tourist hotspots and travel businesses.
The National Skills Needs List and Service Skills Australia report list the following occupations in short supply:

These trends suggest that teaching professionals and educators will be in high demand over the next 20 years, especially for those whp specialise in growth sectors like international education, the private school system, as well as re-skilling the baby boomer generation.
When you combine this data with the Hays Quarterly Report on education you’ll see that the following occupations are in short supply:
Global food demand will rise alongside the world’s population and Australia is in a unique position to take advantage of this.
Thanks to the quality of our produce, sizable ocean resources and proximity to Asia, agribusiness and ocean resources are industries that can expect substantial growth in coming years.
Australia can be a long-term winner in this sector, particularly in grains, beef, dairy, wine, oil seeds and emerging areas like aquaculture.
Unfortunately, the agriculture workforce is ageing and over the past decade the number of students completing agriculture qualifications has almost halved.
It means more jobs, particularly for skilled agricultural professionals. According to Department of Employment statistics, the following are in short supply:
