Listen on

Episode notes

In 2019, AIRAH conducted a comprehensive analysis of salaries in the Australian heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry. It is the first of its kind and covered professionals and practitioners across the sector. Almost 500 people participated, providing benchmarks for the industry. AIRAH plans to run the survey every two years to measure industry trends and developments. The initial results of the survey were analysed by IF Market Research (www.ifmarketresearch.com) and published as a six-page report in the November 2019 issue of Ecolibrium (www.airah.org.au/ecolibrium), AIRAH's official journal. The results of the survey will be made available to the public in January 2020 at www.airah.org.au/salarysurvey "The message here is that this sector is very healthy," says Leigh Funston, director of IF Market Research. "It is well paid, and its retention of people is very good. This is a sector that's in good shape."
