You can tap into worldwide nuclear job opportunities with industries relying on nuclear power and nuclear medicine. For example, with the transition from diesel to nuclear power for submarines.

South Australia has an anticipated skills gaps for qualified professionals with skills in nuclear science, nuclear engineering and nuclear with an estimated 8000 jobs to be created around the industry. 

Australia’s security and prosperity are intrinsically linked to the sea. With 90% of our imports arriving by ocean, safeguarding our maritime routes is not just a matter of national security—it’s a matter of national survival.

The AUKUS agreement is a strategic alliance that brings together Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It’s about enhancing our defence capabilities with nuclear-powered submarines, not nuclear weapons.

Unlike diesel-powered submarines, nuclear-powered ones can remain submerged and undetected for extended periods—months at a time. This capability is crucial for deterrence and intelligence gathering, even in peacetime.

The new submarines will be equipped with conventional weapons. They are designed to be formidable without carrying nuclear armaments.

Western Australia has been a host to nuclear submarines for decades, demonstrating our commitment and capability to support such advanced technology.
