The outlook for the QLD tech sector in 2025 is looking positive. Whilst other geographical markets have softened, the Queensland market has remained buoyant with continued demand for technology and project related skills. This is particularly the case within the contract market.
As numerous commercial technology projects come to an end other major projects have commenced across both the commercial and state government sectors. This has continued to provide great opportunity within the Project Services space with solid demand for project management, architecture, business analysis and change management skills.
With the recent election of a new state government, we have seen a temporary reduction in demand for resources from our state government clients. We expect this to continue through until Q2 2025.
Cyber security, DevOps, development, business intelligence and data analytics experience continues to be sought after by employers.

With nearly 300 days of sunshine per year, Brisbane offers an unrivalled lifestyle for those who love the outdoors being only an hour from the beautiful beaches and relaxed lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast and a short drive to the many national parks of the Gold Coast Hinterland. For those who enjoy the nightlife, the redevelopment of Howard Smith Wharf has added another favourite hotspot to rival the likes of Newstead and Fortitude Valley offering even more restaurants and bars to explore and experience.
Brisbane also offers a high standard of living with much lower living costs than Sydney and Melbourne (particularly the cost of housing) but with technology related salaries rivalling those of the these cities.
A burgeoning tech start up community has positioned Brisbane as a major start-up hub increasing demand for specialised technology skillsets. QLD State Government continue to invest in technology programs that will transform the way we live in Queensland and with a resurgence in commercial industry sectors such as natural resources and banking, employment opportunities are strong.
