Industry Outlook: Technology Talent in Australia 2026-2031

Australia’s technology sector is entering a high-growth era, fuelled by digital transformation, AI adoption, cybersecurity investment, and a growing demand for platform modernisation. As organisations compete to digitise operations and enhance customer experience, demand for software engineers, DevOps specialists, data professionals, and tech leaders continues to outpace supply. 

Between now and 2031, the industry is expected to create over 300,000 additional tech jobs, with software and applications programming roles accounting for a large share of growth. The expansion of sectors like FinTech, HealthTech, and ClimateTech — combined with increasing investment in sovereign tech capability — will further elevate competition for talent.  

However, skill shortages remain a critical challenge. Employers are navigating wage inflation, lengthy hiring cycles, and a widening gap between emerging technologies and available skillsets. Senior-level roles in engineering, architecture, cybersecurity, and AI are particularly difficult to fill, especially in regional and hybrid roles. 

To succeed in this environment, businesses will need smarter workforce strategies — including early talent pipelines, flexible engagement models, and partnerships with recruiters who understand the nuances of the market. 

At Fuse, we stay ahead of tech market shifts and support our clients with tailored hiring solutions, labour market insights, and access to quality candidates who are ready to deliver impact.
