ACS Australia’s Digital Pulse 2024

This year’s edition marks a decade of ACS Australia’s Digital Pulse. This important milestone is a cause for celebration and reflection. ACS Australia’s Digital Pulse has become the definitive source of insights into the rapidly growing digital economy and workforce for both government and industry. The publication has also been the mouthpiece to highlight issues holding the industry back and calling for change.

The importance of the publication has only been elevated in recent years. Australian businesses are falling behind in the global AI adoption race and the need for strong cybersecurity capabilities is greater than ever, highlighted by recent breaches experienced by businesses with household names.

Growing a skilled digital workforce is synonymous with globally competitive businesses and Australia’s future prosperity.

This year’s edition focuses on four key areas to transform Australia’s tech workforce and catalyse further growth in the digital economy: Revitalising Australia’s sources of tech talent, increasing diversity, engaging the next generation of tech talent and closing Australia’s AI adoption gap.
