Right now, Australia is experiencing the biggest AWS job openings in Australia surge in history.
SEEK and LinkedIn show over 4,800 active AWS-related roles nationwide as of November 2025 – a 42% jump from last year – with Sydney and Melbourne alone posting 2,900+ vacancies. Starting salaries for junior-mid level AWS roles now sit between $95K–$145K + super, and companies are desperate.

So how do fresh graduates and career changers actually beat the crowd and get hired fast?
