The Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources’ (DISER) has committed to delivering the inaugural Australian Energy Employment Report (AEER), which will constitute the nation’s first energy workforce survey. 

The AEER seeks to improve government and industry understanding of jobs in the energy sector as well as the people in those jobs and their skills. The Report will also forecast where and what these jobs will be in the future.

A coalition of leading industry groups have welcomed DISER’s commitment to delivering the report. In October 2021 the Energy Efficiency Council (EEC) and UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF), with the support of the Australian Power Institute (API), Clean Energy Council (CEC) and Ai Group, released a RACE for 2030 report on Developing the future energy workforce that recommended the biennial release of the AEER.
