According to The Department of Jobs and Small Business, projections to May 2023 suggest that total employment will increase by 886,100 (7.1%) over the next five years.
Jobs in Healthcare and Social Assistance will increase by 250,000 (14.9%).
Other sectors which could see significant growth include Construction (118,800 or 10%), Education and Training (106,600 or 11.2%) and Professional, Scientific and Technical Services (106,600 or 10.2%).
"The projections, to May 2023, indicate that the long-term structural shift in employment towards services industries will continue," the report reads.
Seventeen out of 19 industries will experience a growth in employment over the five years to May 2023, according to the report.
However, two industry sectors are projected to experience a decline in employment. Wholesale Trade might see a fall of 9,700 (2.7%). Jobs are also expected to fall by 1400 (0.4%) in Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing.
The projections are based on "the forecasted and projected total employment growth rates published in the 2018-19 Budget, Labour Force Survey data (June 2018) for total employment, and the most recent detailed quarterly Labour Force Survey data (May 2018) for industry employment data."
The report projects "a long-term structural shift in employment towards services industries to continue" over the coming five years.
