Industry

South Australia has a rich and diverse economy. The State produces 50% of Australia's cars, 50% of Australia's wine, has a vibrant defence and IT industry, is a major agricultural and horticultural producer and has significant minerals and resource potential.

As a 2004 KPMG study confirmed, Adelaide is the #1 most competitive city for business in Australia and is #3 in the world in its population bracket of 500,000 - 1.5 million people.

This expanding economy has led to skill shortages in many industries. The South Australian Government sponsors visas - and wonderful employment opportunities for skilled migrants are now available in the areas of advanced science, furniture making, automotive trades, health services, horticulture, hospitality, metal machining, toolmaking, urban and regional planning, welding and teaching.

For more information regarding South Australia and our capabilities in various industry sectors you should visit the website for the Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED). This agency is the South Australian Government’s key agency for economic and industry development policy.
