This report aims to contribute to an understanding of Australia’s engineering profession by compiling statistics about engineers in Australia. The statistical overview fills a gap created by the fragmented nature of Australian official statistics as they relate to specific professions and occupational groups.

This report analyses and presents statistics describing the characteristics and size of Australia’s engineering profession over the period 2006 to 2016. It is the first report covering the three population censuses over the boom and bust cycle during these years.

This report examines the size, growth and character of engineering industry employment in Australia to improve the understanding of the dynamics of the engineering profession. The number of engineers working in different industries has changed over the decade 2006 to 2016 as the economy has continued a slow transition from a manufacturing-based economy to a service-based economy. 

Engineers Australia's pre-budget submission for the 2017-18 federal budget.

Engineers Australia's insights for 2017, specifically the change required to realise the country’s political, social and economic aspirations.

Engineers Australian examines the need for an engineering pipeline strategy. 

The purpose of this project was to investigate, identify and assess the barriers confronting women in engineering in order to find ways to redress the underrepresentation of women in the profession. This was completed as a partnership with Engineers Australia and Monash University as part of the Monash Industry Team Initiative (MITI) project.
