National Skills Shortage Survey for Laboratory Technicians
The Occupation Shortage List (OSL), produced by Jobs and Skills Australia, provides a list of occupations in shortage at the national level and in each state and territory. Insights from this list can also inform advice to government on labour market policies and programs, including financial incentives offered to employers for training their staff! LTT encourages all of our employers to complete the survey so that your industry insights are counted and heard.
Occupation Shortage Definition
Jobs and Skills Australia defines an occupation as being in shortage when employers are unable to fill vacancies, face considerable difficulty filling them, or cannot meet significant specialised skill needs within the occupation under the following conditions:
- At current levels of remuneration
- At current conditions of employment
- In reasonably accessible locations
We encourage you to share this with your networks. Greater participation means richer insights and stronger reporting.

The survey is confidential, takes only a short time to complete, and your contribution helps strengthen the evidence base used to support Australia’s scientific and technical workforce.
