This is the tenth edition of ACS Australia's Digital Pulse. To celebrate a decade of analysis and workforce growth, this edition showcases cutting-edge insights and urgent lessons for the future of Australia's digital economy. The report issues an urgent call to action through 12 key actions designed to transform Australia's tech workforce and catalyse growth in the digital economy. This year's edition focuses on four compelling areas of analysis: revitalising Australia's sources of tech talent, boosting diversity in the tech workforce, engaging the next generation of tech talent and closing Australia's [artificial intelligence] AI gap.
The analysis in this report is informed by four key sources: (1) A bespoke survey of nearly 1,900 Australian workers across a range of relevant industries; (2) Case studies featuring leading industry players including Google, Salesforce and Commonwealth Bank; (3) Lightcast data on 265,000 technology worker job advertisements in Australia, from 2012 to 2024; and (4) Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, both publicly available and from a customised data request, as well as other reports and statistics from Australian government sources. The analysis around the workforce and digital indicators is contained in the statistical compendium included in the report as Appendix A.
