Stakeholder survey
Each year, we invite stakeholders to take part in the OSL Stakeholder Survey.
The information collected provides us with insights into your recruitment challenges and captures occupations that might be in shortage across the Australian labour market. It helps ensure that future OSLs are based on comprehensive evidence.
For a summary of the 2025 findings, see the Stakeholder Submissions Snapshot.
