AI hiring in Australia
Australia's AI hiring runs through Sydney and Melbourne, with Canberra adding public-sector and research demand and Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide growing. The big banks, the large domestic software companies, the national science agency and the universities are the main employers, and mining and agriculture generate genuine applied AI work in remote sensing and autonomy. Regulation is currently voluntary and principles-based rather than a binding AI act.
