Writing Skills are in short supply. If you know what is needed, develop the skills, and are prepared to work in the places where the demand exists - it is easier to become a professional writer today than it has ever been.
The Australian Government’s 2025 Skills Shortage List identifies Technical Writer as a profession in short supply across all states. Further, a 2025 report has highlighted that Australian writing skills are at an all-time low. This is concerning given that writing skills are today, arguably, more important than ever.
