Victoria's critical-minerals opportunity could create thousands of jobs, but specialised engineering capability will be critical.

Victoria released its Critical Minerals Roadmap Update 2026. The Victorian Government estimates a fully developed sector could support more than 7,000 jobs over the next decade; the Sunday Creek project alone could support about 500 ongoing jobs if developed. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q04yprb10

Minister for Energy and Resources Jaclyn Symes today released the Victorian Critical Minerals Roadmap Update 2026, as Southern Cross Gold marks a major milestone at its Sunday Creek exploration project.

Australia is building advanced clean-tech manufacturing capability. The engineering skills behind it matter just as much as the technology.

The Australian Government announced $49 million for Hysata to scale hydrogen electrolyser manufacturing at Port Kembla. The investment is aimed at expanding domestic clean-tech manufacturing capability. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q04ypr780

The Albanese Government is backing Australian innovation and advanced manufacturing with a $49 million investment in Hysata to scale up production of its world-leading hydrogen electrolysers at Port Kembla.

Queensland's infrastructure pipeline keeps moving. The $1.98 billion Rockhampton Ring Road reached major construction milestones.

Work has started on foundations for the new 435m Fitzroy River bridge, while a dedicated precast facility is due to be commissioned in October. and workforce planning needs to move with it. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q04ypr2j0

Australia's infrastructure pipeline doesn't only need engineers, it needs surveyors and spatial specialists.

JSA says demand for Surveyors and Spatial Scientists remains strong and is expected to grow, driven by infrastructure, land development, environmental management and emerging industries. Shortages remain across much of Australia. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q04ypp3V0

Strong demand and shortages are reshaping Australia’s spatial workforce.

Minister Burke’s National Press Club announcement has been widely framed as a crackdown on migration. For employers, I think the more important story is how the Government is trying to balance lower Net Overseas Migration with Australia’s ongoing skills shortages, housing pressure, regional labour needs and an ageing workforce.

The package tightens parts of the Student, Visitor and Working Holiday Maker programs, but at the same time introduces new skilled visa processing priorities under MD121 and MD122, with Priority 1 treatment for sectors including Healthcare, Construction, Defence, Resources and Agriculture.

For employers, the practical implications are significant:
- greater value in skilled workers already in Australia
- more 482 transfers and Graduate-to-skilled pathways
- stronger competition for onshore talent
- faster processing potential in priority sectors
- a thinner future pipeline from Students and WHMs

We’ve put together a detailed employer-focused analysis looking at what this means across Engineering, Healthcare, Construction Trades, Defence, Agriculture, Resources, Automotive, General Trades, Scientific & Technical and IT.

Australia’s temporary visa population represents a significant part of the potential workforce — but the headline number does not tell the whole story.

As at 30 June 2026, there were approximately 2.81 million temporary visa holders in Australia. Of these, around 2.08 million were in visa categories that generally carry full or partial work rights.

For employers, the important point is not simply how many temporary visa holders are in Australia. It is understanding:
• which visa holders have permission to work
• what restrictions may apply to their employment
• whether their skills align with genuine workforce shortages
• when employer sponsorship may provide a longer-term pathway
• the importance of checking individual visa conditions through VEVO

Temporary skilled workers, graduates, students, Working Holiday Makers and New Zealand citizens can all form part of Australia’s labour market — but their work rights and long-term options differ considerably.

For employers facing persistent skills shortages, understanding the available talent pool and the relevant migration pathways can be an important part of workforce planning.

At Konnecting, we combine specialist recruitment with registered migration advice to help Australian employers navigate both sides of the workforce equation.

Australia has the projects. The question is whether we have enough engineers to deliver them.

With major investment continuing across infrastructure, renewable energy, resources, defence, housing and construction, engineering workforce capacity is becoming an increasingly important issue for Australian employers.

Engineers Australia has called for a national target of 60,000 additional engineering graduates by 2035, while Infrastructure Australia has forecast significant workforce shortages across engineers, scientists and architects as the infrastructure pipeline grows.

Training more engineers locally is critical — but it takes time.
For employers facing skills gaps today, international recruitment can form part of a broader workforce strategy, complementing local recruitment, graduate development and retention.

At Engineering Personnel, we work with Australian employers to source engineering professionals locally and internationally, with employer-sponsored migration support available through Konnecting’s registered migration professionals where required.
