Introduction
The information contained in this report is intended to assist regional offices of the department and
school principals in planning where to invest training resources to meet local labour market needs.
It is acknowledged that different occupations are associated with different levels of education and
mobility. The data presented here are likely to be of more relevance to those individuals who are
intending to stay in the geographic area that surrounds their high school and will be seeking
training pathways through the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system.
This report is part of a broader series of regional profiles providing summary data on the labour
force, job vacancies and persons in training for 29 specific regions across Queensland. The
regions are necessarily a compromise between regional geographic detail and meaningful data
aggregation.
Information at a level detailed enough to show employment in occupations or levels of qualification
at the sub regional level is only available at five yearly intervals from Census data. Changes in
classification systems used may prevent time series comparisons from being made from one
Census count to another – as occurred in the recent geographic classification1.
1
From 1 July 2011, the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) has been progressively replacing the old Australian
Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC). The ASGS provides a more comprehensive, flexible and consistent way of defining
Australia's statistical geography than the ASGC. The new scale uses Statistical Areas with level 4 being the largest units decreasing to
level 1 as the smallest.

Geographic coverage and population
Cairns is located within the Far North DETE region and is made up of one statistical area level 4
(SA4), Cairns.
Cairns had an estimated resident population (ERP)2 of 240,184 persons as at 30 June 2013, with
an annual average growth rate of 1.6 per cent over five years and 2.0 per cent over ten years.
Queensland had an ERP of 4,656,803 persons as at 30 June 2013 and an annual average growth
rate of 2.0 per cent over five years and 2.2 per cent over ten years.

The estimated resident population (ERP) figure is the official population estimate, and represents the best possible estimate of the
resident population. For sub-state geographies, ERP figures are updated annually using a model which includes administrative data that
indicate population change, such as registered births and deaths, dwelling approvals, Medicare enrolments and electoral enrolments.
Data are updated annually with an approximate delay of nine months after the reporting period.

Employment by industry
Employment by industry has been derived from the 2011 Census of Population and Housing data.
A person's industry of employment was classified based on responses to a range of questions from
the Census and is applicable to persons aged 15 years and over who work. This is based on place
of usual residence.
In Cairns, 11.9 per cent of employed persons worked in the Health care and social assistance
industry while 11.6 per cent worked in Retail trade. In Queensland, 11.9 per cent of employed
persons worked in the Health care and social assistance industry while 10.7 per cent worked in
Retail trade.

The table below details the highest non-school qualification completed by those aged 15 and over
by place of usual residence in the 2011 Census. In Cairns, 54.6 per cent had a post-school
qualification compared with 54.2 per cent at the state level. The composition of Cairn’s
qualification profile was broadly consistent with state level proportions.

Pathways analysis
The approach taken in this section is to identify (a) occupations with the largest numbers employed,
(b) occupations where VET is the main training pathway to a qualification and (c) provide a
measure of demand that takes account of turnover within each occupation. The scope of the report
is limited to 2011 Census data since changes in the system of statistical geography used by the
ABS prevent time series comparisons from being made across the five yearly Census collections.
The table below shows the top 30 occupations in the Cairns region ranked by number employed
with training pathways based on highest educational attainment. Sales assistants accounted for
the largest number of people employed in the region with around 73.9 per cent having school level
and 21.4 per cent having VET as their highest qualification.

The table below shows the top 30 occupations ranked by number employed in the Cairns region
based on the 2011 Census which are VET related, i.e. occupations where VET accounts for
50 per cent or more of the highest qualification attained.
The table focuses on occupations where significant numbers are employed in the region. The last
column shows state level estimates of the average annual replacement demand rates for each
occupation between 2013 and 2017. The net replacement rate estimates take account of various
sources of inflows and outflows that are likely to occur within a given occupational category
(e.g. retirements, exits from the labour force, migration, mobility).

Education and Training (CEET), Monash University – whole of state only.
Net replacement demand attempts to measure job openings for new entrants to an occupation after taking account of inflows from, and
outflows to, (i) other occupations, (ii) unemployment and (iii) outside the labour force.

Job vacancies
Figure 2 below shows the region used by the Commonwealth Department of Employment in its
Internet Vacancy Index. Data are based on four job boards (SEEK, My Career, CareerOne and
Australian JobSearch) which contribute to the count of online vacancies. Each job board uses
different regions, and the Department of Employment created 38 regions nationally which best fit
them. It is not possible to assign each and every job advertisement to a single job location with
perfect precision, and for this reason, the regional data should be treated as indicative of labour
demand in each region. Queensland is divided into seven broad regions with the Far North shown
below.

Internet vacancy levels, shown in Chart 3 below, compare the Department of Employment region
with the state average. While the series show movements in vacancy activity they are likely to
represent only a part of total vacancy activity at a given point in time (jobs may also be listed on
other Internet sites, newspapers, shop window signs or word of mouth for example).
