The latest Australian Geoscientist Employment Survey, designed to measure the employment prospects of geoscientists during the September quarter of 2015 is open for contributions.  Please follow this link to complete the survey.

These surveys are run regularly by AIG to help to monitor employment prospects for geoscientists in Australia.

The geoscience professions in Australia are experiencing a pronounced and prolonged downturn in employment prospects. Geoscientist unemployment in Australia, in the June Quarter of 2015 was found to be comparable with that experienced at the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008-2009.

Thanks to your support, the AIG Australian Geoscientist Employment Survey is now regarded as a trusted indicator of geoscientist employment specifically, and an indicator of the health of Australia’s exploration and mining sector more generally. We need your support, for a few minutes every every quarter to maintain the value of this series of surveys.

Please note that no data that could personally identify respondents is collected by this survey.

The survey will remain open for contributions until 16th October.

The few minutes of your time spent completing the survey really helps to make a difference to the standing and knowledge of our profession.  Please share the survey link with your friends and colleagues.  You do not need to be an AIG member to complete the survey.  Contributions are welcome from all professional geoscientists in Australia.
