According to the Generative Artificial Intelligence Capacity Study from Jobs and Skills Australia, about 79 per cent of jobs in Australia are at low risk of automation. That means most roles will continue to exist, but they may look a little different. 

Many industries like construction, hospitality, aged care and trades are expected to grow and remain largely unaffected by AI. These jobs require practical, hands-on experience and human interaction. If you work or want to work in one of these areas, your skills are still highly valued and in demand. 

Other roles, such as administration, reception and data entry, may see more tasks being supported or streamlined by AI. But this doesn’t mean the work disappears. Instead, it highlights the importance of adapting and building digital confidence. 

Digital literacy is not about becoming a tech expert. It’s about being comfortable with the tools that are now part of everyday work, like writing an email, navigating online forms, attending virtual interviews or using basic digital platforms, like Teams and Slack. Knowing how to work these platforms is a universal requirement across multiple industries and positions. These are skills that can be learned quickly and can make a big difference when applying for jobs or re-entering the workforce.
