Jobs and Skills Australia · Internet Vacancy Index
Where the advertisements are
Online job advertisements across Australia, July 2026. Capital cities are shown as whole cities and the rest of the country by region, which is how the index is published.
Online job advertisements by region, July 2026. Ordered by number of advertisements. Select a region for its
figures; bars are scaled to the largest figure shown.
This is not a count of jobs. The Internet Vacancy Index counts advertisements appearing on a defined set of job boards. Vacancies never advertised online, or advertised only through an employer’s own site, are not in it. It is an indicator of advertising activity, not a measure of total Australian vacancies.
Shading is by rank, in five equal groups of regions, not by a fixed scale. Greater Sydney carries more advertisements than every regional area of New South Wales combined, so a fixed scale would leave almost the whole map in the palest band. The key prints the value each band opens at.
Capital cities are drawn as whole cities and the rest of each state region by region, because that is how the index is published. The two levels together cover the country exactly once.
