Why hiring a IT Support Specialist in Australia is broken
Australia needs 312,000 additional tech workers by 2030 — produces only 7,000 IT graduates annually (TechBoard 2026)
Cybersecurity specialists: 0.3 candidates per role nationally; cloud architects: 0.8 per role (Change Recruitment 2026)
Skilled Migration List (CSOL/STSOL) bottleneck — sponsor visa processing now 6–9 months
Senior developers commanding A$150,000+ (up from A$110,000 in 2020); cloud specialists A$180,000+
Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) withholding + Superannuation Guarantee (12% from July 2025) complicate contractor billing
