Artificial intelligence (AI), digitisation, automation, globalisation and robotics are already impacting careers right now, and this change is only set to accelerate. Knowledge is power, so we’ve analysed more than 3000 occupations and 1000s of tasks across the Australian economy, and created this free online tool to help you understand the outlook for your current job and career, and to develop a plan to help you become Future Fit.
The Australian economy was broken down into more than 3000 occupations and 2000 tasks, to determine the potential change in occupations and impact of Generative AI on tasks performed. For example, a truck driver might ‘operate vehicles’ and ‘secure cargo’, while a sales assistant would ‘process sales’ and ‘advise customers’.

The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) CEO Kylie Walker told The Canberra Times AI could replace anywhere between 25 and 46 percent of all Aussie jobs by 2030. Many articles, news items, and papers have made similar predictions. For instance, Walker, and a group of 13 other AI experts, called for a $1 billion national artificial intelligence initiative in a new report. Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is quickly becoming widely adopted for everyday use, which is expected to accelerate the transformation of businesses and the tasks that people undertake.

Our Future of Work Predictor gives you a free, customised report based on the latest economic and employment data outlining:
- How significantly your job will change
- How tasks related to your job will change
- How your qualification compares to others in your field
- How wages and employment opportunities may change for your job
- How AI is likely to impact your occupation
Our Future of Work Predictor tool is based on a very robust analysis conducted by global tech consultants Accenture, who broke the Australian economy down into more than 3000 occupations and 2000 tasks to determine the potential change in occupations and the impact of Generative AI on tasks performed. The analysis was grounded in data on task changes, wage growth, employment shifts and skill levels from the O*NET Database and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). You can find out more here.
It’s completely understandable to feel apprehensive when faced with the rapid advancements in AI, digitisation, automation, globalisation, and robotics. These forces are shaping our working world today, and their influence is expected to only grow. While these changes can seem daunting, being informed empowers you to take control. Our free online tool was designed to provide you with clarity about your current career status and to assist in planning effectively for the future. We aim to empower, not alarm, helping you to become well-prepared and future fit.
The primary data source used in this analysis was the O*NET Database (US). The O*NET database contains survey ratings for a range of job-specific tasks for over 1000 occupations. Results were then converted to Australian occupations and timeshares. Each ONET SOC was mapped to the single closest Australian and New Zealand Standard Classifications of Occupations (ANZSCO) 6-digit occupation, based on Jobs and Skills Australia's Labour Market Insights correspondence table. These 6-digit occupations were then mapped into ANZSCO 4-digit occupations, by taking the median occupation by task change for each task within the occupation. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) compiles these occupations. If your job isn't listed, it's likely that the ABS has not included it in their standard classifications. You can provide feedback via a link available on their website.
It's reassuring to hear that your role may not be significantly affected by automation in the near future! However, it's important to consider that the working landscape is continually evolving. Staying ahead involves not just understanding current changes, but also preparing for future developments. Engaging with ongoing learning opportunities, diversifying your skill set, and staying informed about industry trends are all crucial steps in ensuring long-term career resilience and success, even in roles not currently at high risk of automation.
