Better career decisions, made with the facts in front of you.

Most career information online is trying to get you to do something: apply for a job, enrol in a course, click on an ad. careertips isn't.

We're an independent Australian career guide. We take real workforce data from Jobs and Skills Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, add our own analysis where it helps, label it clearly, and turn it into something you can use: what a role pays, what the day-to-day is like, where it leads, how exposed it is to AI, and how to get in.

Whether you're starting out, stepping up or starting again, the aim is the same. Not to tell you what to do, but to make sure you can see the whole picture before you decide.

What you'll find here

Role pages that answer what a job pays, what it's really like, and where it leads. Tools that turn general numbers into your numbers, a salary calculator and an AI job exposure checker, with more in development. Templates for the parts of a career move that need doing well.

Where the data comes from

Pay, employment, growth and demographic figures come from Jobs and Skills Australia and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (CC BY 4.0), matched to each role by its occupation code, ANZSCO and increasingly OSCA, its successor classification. Coverage differs field by field: a role can carry real employment and demographic figures while its earnings figure is still our own analysis, if the official source hasn't published a number for that specific role and field yet. Figures marked * on a role page are our own analysis rather than a government figure, and every chart's data view names its actual source.

What we don't do

No jobs to fill, no courses to sell, no recruiter or provider paying for placement or ranking.
