REGIONAL AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE SUBMISSION - NATIONAL SKILLS PASSPORT February 2024

26 Feb 2024

REGIONALISATION AMBITION 2032 Based on more than a decade of research into the most important issues influencing the regions, in 2022, the RAI launched the Regionalisation Ambition 2032 - A Framework to Rebalance the Nation – a 10 year plan for regional Australia. [...] In 2023, the RAI established the National Alliance for Regionalisation, a cohort of 32 of Australia’s leading peak industry bodies who support the aspirations of the Regionalisation Ambition 2032 and overarching goal to ‘rebalance the nation’. [...] The recent State of Australia’s Regions Report, from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, projects that 213,000 will be created in key occupations to the net zero transition before 2033. [...] The RAI along with State and Local Government, hosted the Cross-Border Future Industry Workforce Forum with the goal of developing a ‘roadmap’ for the future skills requirements of the region’s burgeoning critical minerals, renewable energy, and irrigated agriculture industries. [...] In referring to the outlined context of the increased migration growth and future net-zero jobs boom, the need to provide a national skills recognition service will pre-empt a compounding skills problem.
