2024 Workforce Plans are now available
Development of a national Workforce Plan for each of our key industries is central to our role as a Jobs and Skills Council, and critical to our goal of building a world class supply chain workforce.
Each Plan sets out the workforce development challenges and opportunities facing the industry and serves as a roadmap for the future by identifying what industry, the national skills system and governments need to do to build an agile, highly productive and resilient workforce.
With no single stakeholder having the resources or remit to affect the volume of change required, these Plans are essential to establishing a common vision, clear roles and a way forward.
We have purposely prepared a separate Workforce Plan for each industry to optimise their relevance to stakeholders, and to ensure that they are short in length and sharp in focus. These Plans are the result of significant stakeholder engagement, combined with qualitative and quantitative research, and guided by the direction and leadership of each industry’s Strategic Workforce Planning Committee.

Industry Skills Australia establishes its Industry Advisory Council
While Australia's transport and logistics industry employs over 730,000 workers, that number rises to over one million when including those employed in industries such as mining, manufacturing, retail, and agriculture. Importantly, it’s companies in these industries that often pioneer new ways of working and new technologies that subsequently flow through to transport and logistics.
To drive genuine cross-industry collaboration, we have established the Industry Advisory Council, a high-level, tripartite mechanism that brings together a range of industries with the single goal of building a resilient and agile supply chain workforce.

Solving the Challenges Together
As the new Jobs and Skills Council for the nation's transport and logistics sectors, we will be bringing together business leaders, unions, governments, industry organisations and training providers to understand the real issues and collaborate on high impact solutions.
We’re committed to building a world class supply chain workforce to lift the nation’s productivity and create better jobs and careers for Australians. To secure this future we’ll need to tackle many challenges.
Whether its finding ways of getting more skilled truck drivers into the cabs of trucks to keep Australia’s supply chains moving.
Or sourcing a workforce to ensure the $155 billion pipeline of rail projects can be built and operated safely. Or building a strategic fleet to enhance our sovereign maritime capability and creating jobs for Australian seafarers.
Or figuring out how we ensure new workers are skilled to meet the challenges of increasing demand for aviation services. Or building the workforce for our emerging space transport and omni-channel logistics sectors which are both set for strong growth this decade.
Great ideas to address these challenges and many more can come from anyone and anywhere. Whether you’d like to collaborate with us, share your ideas, get involved in our activities or simply stay informed, get in touch now to join us on the journey.
