Have your say on current skills shortages

Dear member,

The Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA), of which VACC is a member, has engaged Deloitte Access Economics to support their response to Jobs and Skills Australia’s (JSA) 2024 Skills Priority List stakeholder survey.

The Skills Priority List is used to assess current skills shortages and future labour demand in industries across Australia. It is a key resource used to shape domestic education and training policy and to inform Australia’s Migration Program planning.

This is an opportunity for the Australian automotive retail industry to advise government of the current and expected skills shortages you are experiencing. As such, we invite you to complete the following survey link to inform our submission to government.

Automotive Skills Shortages Survey

This survey is being sent to all current MTA members and should be filled out by individual businesses. Please only provide one response per business. The findings from this survey will be used by Deloitte Access Economics and MTAA for the purpose of completing the JSA Skills Priority List stakeholder survey for the automotive industry.

Only aggregated responses will be reported, meaning your business will not be identified in any information provided to JSA.

If you have any questions about Deloitte’s privacy policy or about the survey, please contact autoskillssurvey@deloitte.com.au.

The survey will close Friday 9 February 2024.

Dr Imogen Reid,
Lead, Strategy and Policy
