New information has actually disclosed which Aussie sectors will certainly be seeking employees in 2025. Some have actually battled to snatch a function in the affordable work market, specifically with the appearance of ghost advertisements.
SEEK has actually ground the numbers on offered work adverts and adjustments throughout various Australian sectors to exercise what will certainly be one of the most sought-after fields for following year. Look for elderly financial expert Blair Chapman informed Yahoo Finance one sector stood over the remainder.
“The healthcare and social assistance industry has been responsible for a large share of employment growth over the last decade, and this is likely to continue in 2025,” he said.
“The number of older Australians continues to grow alongside an increasing awareness of mental health and behavioural conditions, driving an ongoing demand for care workers and this is unlikely to end anytime soon.
“As such, demand for registered nurses, aged and disabled carers and child carers all grew quickly in 2024 and remain in hot demand as we move toward 2025.”
The average salary for a registered nurse in Australia ranges from $85,000 to $95,000, according to SEEK, while aged and disabled carers can earn between $75,000 to $85,000.

Child care workers also secured a pay deal earlier this year that will increase their salaries by 15 per cent over the next two years.
Wages will jump 10 per cent this month, which will boost their pay by at least $103 per week, and a further 5 per cent in 12 months.
That will take the total wage rise to $155 per week.
If you’re not in the healthcare sector, fear not, as there are other industries tipped to be in demand next year:
“Employment for programmers and data scientists is likely to continue growing quickly as businesses look to keep up with the increasing use of AI by their employees, clients and competitors,” Chapman said.
“The use of online delivery services will continue to drive demand for workers in the logistics sector, so it is likely that demand for truck drivers and warehouse staff like store persons and forklift drivers will remain elevated in 2025.
“With cost-of-living pressures expected to ease and the potential for interest rate cuts in 2025, the demand for retail and hospitality workers should pick up in 2025 as households have a little more disposable income to spend.”
