We want to hear from you
Industry Skills Australia invites stakeholders to provide their feedback about the workforce priorities, key blockages, and high-impact solutions for your industry.
Your feedback will assist us in the development of the 2025 Workforce Plans and our broader program of work.
Thank you for the incredible response to our 2025 Workforce Plans survey.
The survey results will play a critical role in shaping the Workforce Plan 2025 for each of our four industries - Maritime, Rail, Transport and Logistics (including Omni-channel Logistics and Distribution) and Aviation (including Space Transport and Logistics).
In March, we will present a draft version of the 2025 Workforce Plans, inviting your input again.
