NSW Primary Industries Workforce Strategy 2025–2030
Summary
The NSW Primary Industries Workforce Strategy 2025–2030 (the strategy) outlines a vision for delivering profitable, sustainable, and innovative agriculture, forestry and fishing industries in NSW. It focuses on building a capable, diverse and resilient workforce to support these sectors.
The strategy identifies three priority areas for government, industry and stakeholders, including:
- Improving business management, adaptability and innovation
- Fostering a diverse workforce that is accessible across NSW
- Building on careers and capabilities in primary industries.
The strategy was developed following the NSW Government’s election commitment to hold a NSW Agriculture Workforce Roundtable, along with extensive consultation across industry, government, education and training providers, researchers and the community.
The NSW Government will continue working closely with industry and stakeholders to build on existing programs and develop new initiatives that address workforce challenges and create opportunities for a strong and productive primary industries sector.
