Australia’s medical technology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and digital health sector supports approximately 70,000 Australian jobs and contributed more than $5 billion in Gross Value Added (GVA) to the Australian economy in 2019. Its future is dependent on the skills of its workforce.
To better understand the sector’s workforce needs and skills gaps, an online survey of human resource (HR) professionals and managers with hiring responsibilities in the sector was developed in consultation with MTPConnect and a cross-industry project team, including AusBiotech, ANDHealth, Medical Technology Association of Australia and Medicines Australia.
This report identifies current, emerging and future skills gaps that need to be addressed in order to drive growth in the Australian MTP sector.
