A good CV opens the door. Knowing which door you actually want is the bit nobody teaches. These are the free, trusted Australian career bodies we send people to, whether you are switching industries, coming back to work or just quietly wondering if there is more.
None of them are ours, they cost nothing, and not one of them will tell you to “leverage your synergies”.
Careers and learning
- myfuture
Australia's national career information service. Free tools for exploring occupations and pathways, whatever age you are when the itch starts. - Your Career
The government's career site, with skills quizzes, course search and free career guidance. Good for a reset or a rethink. - Career Development Association of Australia (CDAA)
The professional association for career development practitioners. Look here for someone qualified when you want a proper conversation about what is next. - Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA)
The peak body for the career industry, which sets the professional standards career practitioners work to.
Work and skills
- Jobs and Skills Australia
Where the jobs are, which skills are in demand and where they are heading. Handy before you spend a year retraining. - Fair Work Ombudsman
Pay, awards and your rights at work. Check it before you sign a contract, not after. - Adult Learning Australia
The peak body for adult and community education. Proof that learning does not stop when the school bell does.
When you are ready for the next step
