Labour & Skills

The availability of skilled employees is one of the key supply side issues for the tourism industry. The future sustainability of our Member sectors is contingent on access to an appropriately skilled workforce, from the baseline to management level.

Despite the international impact of the global financial crisis, Australia's economy continues to grow, with low unemployment signalling a likely return to skills shortages in the short term. In the medium term, the proportion of the population in the labour force is likely to decline and this will create capacity constraints in the sector.
