the Australian Computer society (ACs) is the recognised professional association for those working in information and Communications technology, seeking to raise the standing of iCt professionals and represent their views to government, industry and the community. A member of the Australian Council of professions, the ACs is the guardian of professional
ethics and standards in the iCt sector, committed to ensuring the beneficial use of iCt for all Australians. it provides both members and non-members with opportunities for professional education, networking and certification, as well as enabling them to contribute to the development of their profession.

We all recognise the difficulty of easily accessing relevant data (employment, educational outputs, research spend, etc.) on iCt economic and social trends. ACs, in cooperation with the Australian Bureau of statistics (ABs) and other relevant Government departments, engaged Ciier in 2009 and 2010 to develop an iCt statistical Compendium to combine quality iCt-related data into a single summary report, as part of the ACs commitment to improving iCt outcomes in Australia. the Compendiums have been very well received by the iCt profession, iCt industry, and by Governments around Australia, so this year, Ciier has again been engaged to provide an expanded version of the Compendium, including new analysis on the digital economy, more trend analysis, and discussions on improving iCt-related statistical data.
As with each edition, this Compendium does not include
all of the available data, but we have tried to amass a range of data addressing the main questions that arise. some data
included in the first publication – e.g. ABs iCt industry data, has again been substituted with later data from Ciier in this edition, as no later information was available from ABs. Where no later data could be identified, but the data is considered still highly relevant, information has been repeated.
the objective of this project was to produce a series of ‘snapshots’ of statistical data on the iCt workforce for ACs members, industry and government, and a potential ‘bible’ for iCt users, incorporating statistics on the Australian iCt sector, iCt higher and vocational education, iCt trade, iCt employment and skills, iCt immigration, with some breakdowns of the statistical data on a national and state/territory basis.
our aim is to continue to assist policymakers involved in the iCt sector by providing the latest available data, and to provide a tool for iCt professionals and the iCt industry, and for businesses that deal with the iCt sector.

AustrAliAn Computer soCiety6
Defining ICT
one of the significant difficulties in understanding iCt in Australia is the frequent confusion between analysis of the iCt workforce in labour market terms (e.g. what job the individual performs), and analysing the iCt workforce in industry terms (e.g. what kind of organisation the individual worked for). Clearly iCt is evident in every industry sector, but unfortunately iCt is not yet always recognised statistically as an industry sector in its own right, and it will remain so until the current industry statistical metrics used in Australia are updated to reflect the pervasiveness and reality of iCt in the 21st century.
iCt broad employment occurs in a number of groupings. these include:
• the providers of iCt goods and services (usually called the iCt industry)
• the purchasers and users of iCt goods and services, including the government and private sectors, which also employ a large number of specialists to help them apply their iCt purchases
• the trainers, teachers and researchers in iCt who generally (but not always) operate within universities and colleges
• people who provide technical support to iCt, but who might, more properly, be categorised as electrical or electronics specialists
• people working in call-centres, or in desktop publishing and graphics design
there is a significant percentage of iCt professionals in the iCt industry, but iCt industry employment includes not only those professionals, but also many iCt non-professional technical, sales, logistical and administrative staff.
AnZsCo (Australia, new Zealand standard Classification of occupations) is a multi-level nomenclature essential to the understanding of employment statistics. the upper level (the 2-digit level) is meant to bring like occupations together so they can be aggregated. unfortunately, the iCt occupation grouping at this level leaves out some occupations that we, and others, would consider are, wholly or in part, within iCt. Accordingly, simple extracts from employment data of the “iCt” AnZsCo group can easily lead to inadvertent understatement of the actual position of iCt employment. in this report we have identified the key AnZsCo classes from which the iCt analysis is derived.
the ACs maintains a more appropriate classification of iCt occupations is required to understand the iCt sector and the “digital economy” in Australia, and thus inform iCt policy with a clear, verifiable set of metrics, potentially by reference to the skills Framework for the information Age.3
AnZsiC (Australia, new Zealand standard industry
Classification) is similarly structured to AnZsCo, and while it also has an upper-level iCt grouping (information media and telecommunications), which includes some small non-iCt elements, it unfortunately does not include the numerically larger software and services iCt industry sector, which is included as a misnamed subset (Computer
systems design) within the upper-level grouping “professional, scientific and technical services”.
“information media and telecommunications” also leaves out iCt hardware manufacture, iCt wholesale and retail trade, and iCt consulting sectors, which are scattered across a number of other AnZsiC classifications.
General economists, and other commentators, sometimes presume that “information media and telecommunications” in ABs data and government publications is the iCt industry, and make comment without realising that in employment terms, it is actually less than half of the employment of the “real” iCt industry.
this same analysis impacts their calculations of iCt revenue, exports and Gdp/GVA, which regularly become a synonym for economic importance, and are frequently understated for iCt, but overstated for the AnZsiC industry classifications in which the missing iCt industry sectors are hidden.
However, in this report we have tried, wherever possible, while not altering figures derived from these misleading categorisations, to indicate the estimated “true” value of the iCt industry component of each of these measures.

parts of the iCt industry can be found in the following AnZsiC categories:
• professional, scientific and technical services• information media and telecommunications• retail trade• manufacturing• education and training• Wholesale trade• Arts and recreation services
major sectors within the industry include:
• it services, systems integration and software support• internet services and telecommunications• software and digital content development• Wholesale and retail distribution of software and
hardware• manufacture of iCt products and components
the ABs has measured the iCt industry intermittently as a specific exercise since 1996, with its last report now over five years old representing the period 2006-7 (cat 8126.0) and published in october 2008. this report was referenced for the iCt industry data in the 2009 ACs iCt statistical Compendium.
the Centre for innovative industries economic research inc has conducted an annual survey, since 1998, on a smaller survey sample, modelling the iCt industry in a similar manner to ABs. the iCt industry data for the 2011 statistical Compendium will draw upon Ciier’s december 2010 data, as the 2006-7 ABs data is now too far out of date to add meaningful value.
Further confusion is now arising with the use of the terms “digital economy” and “internet economy” to describe both those elements of the economic processes of all industries impacted by iCt, or by the specifics of internet-based iCt, and in some cases the productive elements (labour, infrastructure, etc.) that make these possible.
it is easier to accurately define Australia’s digital economy by what it is not, rather than by what it is. in the
broadest sense it is almost the entire domestic economy, other than those very small components of the economy that do not use any iCt support at all (e.g. subsistence farming or street musicians – unless they also distribute their outputs electronically). more logically, it is all of the iCt industry, and a significant proportion of almost every other economic sector that uses iCt. mining, healthcare, education, government, wholesale and retail trade, manufacturing, transport and other sectors all rely on iCt goods and services, and are therefore participants in the digital economy.
the internet economy can be defined as a varying subset of the digital economy. the variation is because the decision whether to use internet-based iCt or internal organisational iCt is one that is made for lots of different reasons – technical, financial, data security or operational control – and those decisions change over time. the distinction is also economically irrelevant, other than for iCt suppliers whose markets are internet-focused products and services. unfortunately, these terms are used interchangeably, and the more narrow definition of internet economy may therefore lead to conservative interpretations of the significance of the digital economy, and thus of the iCt industry and iCt profession that creates and maintains it.
the term “iCt industry” is also often used for a confusing range of different things, ranging from the “tight” definition of companies solely concerned with the provision of iCt products and services, but which includes companies with major units supplying iCt goods and services, through to a “looser” definition that may include retail iCt, that may include call centres that are mainly parts of other industries (e.g. banking), that may include significant sections of the electronics industries and of other professional services (e.g. management consultants and, historically, accountants), to a “broad” definition that can include anyone working on iCt-related matters in any industry.
“iCt industry” in this publication refers to the tighter ABs
and Ciier definitions; we have used the term “iCt worker” for the broader definition. the table below sets out a suggested model for the redefinition of the iCt industry, drawing upon existing AnZsiC structures.

in 2008, according to an Australian treasury paper4 and the ABs, it was not the mining sector that “rescued” Australia from the global financial crisis, but the services sectors, with the exception of the finance and insurance sector.
prior to the current resources boom, and notwithstanding data set limitations, Australian iCt contributed more to Australia’s Gdp than the mining sector.5
iCt services represent a large proportion of the remaining services.

in early 2011, the eminent economic analysts iBis published an industry sectoral analysis of fiscal contribution to Gross domestic product (Gdp) in 2010, derived from ABs data. Ciier reviewed this analysis, and found that (even excluding iCt manufacture, iCt
wholesaling and iCt retail, and some iCt consulting) the iCt industry sector contributes nearly 8 per cent of Australian Gdp. this was as much as the mining industry, and more than all other industry sectors, other than manufacturing, and finance and insurance.

Research estimated as equal to latest data available for prior year
iCt industry staffing has flattened since 2008. this is offset by rises in overall iCt technical, professional and trade staff, suggesting the change away from “panacea” outsourcing towards previous ratios of in-house iCt staffing is having an effect. the trend-line in the iCt industry data adds some support to this hypothesis, as it matches more closely to rises in iCt professional, technical and trade staff since 2008.

iCt industry revenue37 dipped in 2008-9, led by telecommunications. While overall revenue has risen in 2009-10, telecommunications remains flat. long-term employment growth continued, however, here based on those parts of the iCt industry that can be extracted from ABs labour market quarterly data.38

ICT Tech, professional and trade employment actual and CIIER projections
ICT technical and professional employment trend
this chart models a future iCt employment demand algorithm based upon a regressive analysis of correlations to Australian share market indices (effectively a surrogate for future investment intentions).
Forward share market index positions, of course, may vary from those projected, which are based upon conservative economist indicators.
the Ciier model projects a growth in iCt technical and professional employment net demand of 14,000 next year, and, assuming an Asx close June 30, 2012 of 5000 points, 21,000 the following year.
With the current uncertainties, it is useful to calculate the possible outcomes of these algorithms should the stock market recover more slowly, or if a recession should occur.

Stockmarket slow recoveryStockmarket projected recoveryStockmarket recession
Historic employment 1999-2011, ABS labour market data
these suggest that, unless Australia tips into a minimum two-year recession, net demand for iCt technical and professional staff continues to grow over the next three years.
it should also be noted that this projected data is about net change. notwithstanding any growth in net demand, replacements will also still need to be made for retirements, external migration, the expiring of temporary visas and other ongoing reductions in the iCt workforce.
it is highly doubtful that this demand can be met from current education sources, as despite a slight increase in domestic iCt enrolments in the past two years, the neglect of domestic iCt education for the previous 10 years still has a long way to go to recover to necessary levels to support Australia’s digital economy.

The NBN Effect“A National Broadband Network based on FTTP technology will provide the best possible platform for Australia to use as a basis for its move into the knowledge economy. The NBN will provide Australia with a future-proof broadband infrastructure and provide support for future generations of applications and services that will underpin all sectors of the Australian economy. The NBN infrastructure will provide necessary backhaul support for complementary wireless services and will encourage competition at the services level, thereby eliminating wasteful duplication of infrastructure in the access network. Importantly, the FTTP infrastructure in the NBN will be readily upgradeable to 1 Gb/s and even 10 Gb/s to the home as new applications and services continue to drive demand for more bandwidth.” 40
in a report last year for the tasmanian iCt industry and tasmanian Government, Ciier analysts noted that there had been many theories put forward in respect to the potential impact of the nBn on iCt in Australia, and that they had ranged from “fanciful concepts of a panacea to all ills, to luddite rejections of necessity or impact”. A problem in applying rational analysis to the impact or otherwise of the nBn has been the frequent tendency of commentators to forget that advances in communications and iCt applications are, and were, taking place with or without the nBn, so, as noted by Ciier analysts in the tasmanian report: “it is its role as an additional facilitator and catalyst
that becomes important in the long run, rather than the underlying continuation of gains in productivity, efficiency and the range of products and services impacted by or created by iCt”.
the original conjectured “25,000 jobs”41 to be created by the nBn project were not categorised into skills mixes, nor was a difference made between the development phase and steady-state. this lack of clarity has led to presumptions about the quantification and qualification of potential nBn skills demand, many of which must inevitably be poorly founded. An example of this was a headline “Broadband jobs forecast falls short by thousands”,42 referring to nBn workforce modelling forecasting a requirement for 16,000 workers (5500 labourers, 300 cablers, 2300 earthmoving contractors, 1100 telecommunications line workers, 900 traffic controllers, and 3200 higher skills workers in various categories). these are, of course, all construction requirements, and have little to do with the real iCt skills implications of the nBn, which have more to do with enhanced content and bandwidth, not digging holes. the nBn will, however, certainly not diminish the demand for iCt technical and professional skills already identified in this report, and is highly likely to increase such demand beyond the levels already projected. inability to satisfy such demand for skilled labour is likely to become the largest constraint upon the efficacious use of the facilities the nBn will deliver.

Critical path - rollout
during the nBn rollout,43 the critical points are assumed to be in the initial build/lay components and in the build and operation of the points of interconnects (pois). resource requirements will also need to consider not just the physical laying/building of the access infrastructure on the entry side of the total rollout, but also the detailed install requirements per unit, be it sdu or mdu internal or external or where the Vdsl2 has to be maintained in older apartments or non-fibre accessible sites. the skills mix is a complex one, and since different parts of the network will be at different stages of rollout at different times, it is anticipated that a significant mobility of workforce will inevitably occur. local supply/demand issues illustrated in the diagram are less likely to be of import, therefore, that the national and, in some cases, global, demand and supply of particular skills.44
no stage is, however, “pure” in its skills mix. even the pipe lay and build requires engineering, scheduling, calendaring and other support from such skills as project managers, software developers and engineers. the ont connection
work will require some retraining of electricians and communications tradespeople, and as this is more complex for multi-dwelling structures, with additional grades of skills for such sites.
As a critical mass of high-capacity infrastructure is reached, products and services will emerge to serve them. it is in this space that the skills of the iCt industry come to the fore, since these skills are, in the main, focused on web-based applications.
Ciier analysts’ concern is that the same issues of financial, market and distribution support that the domestic iCt industry today will continue to do so, and that this, rather than technical skill constraints related to the nBn, will be the single most important limiting factor for economic growth. projecting this growth is, however, difficult, and historical statistics can only provide limited support. the key statistics relate to demand for bandwidth, both in the number of subscribers and in the data access rates required.

data access rate45 has climbed continuously and exponentially, and it requires a logarithmic scale to present an intelligible picture. this kind of increase is unlikely to decline, as new and more complex systems require higher data rates to sustain them.

A significant amount of the data presented in this compendium is derived from the ABs and other government agencies. other data is derived from surveys conducted by a variety of organisations. it should be noted that the ABs, other government agencies, and many of the organisations concerned, advise that some caution should be exercised in the analysis of such data.
some of the broader caveats to the data in this publication have been incorporated alongside the tables and charts; others are too extensive or complex for easy inclusion.
ABs outlines for its publications both the methods applied to source the data and estimates of the reliability of it for analysis purposes. these can be accessed from the ABs website.
the quality of statistical data is affected by a number of factors, the main ones being time, depth and coverage. timely data is data that is reasonably up-to-date, and non-timely data loses usefulness as it gets older, other than for trend analysis. in this publication we have tried to present the timeliest data available at the time of compilation, however, it is clear that some important iCt data is not as up-to-date as would be preferable. depth of data refers to the base level to which the data penetrates, and the relative size of the sample used. it also addresses whether the data only exists at a summary level, or whether it is a summation of more detailed
data. in general, the greater the depth the greater levels of accuracy. Coverage applies to the relevancy of the source to the analysis, i.e. if the only sources of data come from a single state, industry sector or size of organisation, does that allow analysis to presume with any level of certainty that other states, sectors or corporations are similar?
We have tried to identify in footnotes and comments both the source and timeliness of data, and analysis has been kept to the minimum necessary to minimise any inadvertent misinterpretation of the data presented.
some data are leading indicators, i.e. they can help to project other data (an example of a leading indicator is tertiary commencements, which, by the application of average “success” percentages, can project likely completions three years hence). other data are trailing indicators, i.e. job losses are often a trailing indicator of worse market conditions. Because they are gathered with different timeframes, leading and trailing indicators may not always agree. they can, however, if tracked consistently, show trends of growth or contraction, and of acceleration or slowdown.
statistics can tell us what has happened, but not always why. statistics can give us pointers to the future, but only to the limitations of the data and the environment. We hope you find these statistics useful and that they encourage debate and discussion about the scope and role of iCt in Australia.
