Employment opportunities will also come from job openings created by the Health sector’s relatively older workforce reaching retirement age at a faster rate than the rest of the state. Some examples of skilled occupations with strong employment growth in the health sector are: Psychologists; Health and Welfare Services Managers; Surgeons; Anaesthetists; Podiatrists; and Dieticians.
