Property and Real Estate Programs

---

The property industry is Australia’s biggest generator of jobs and secures the future of 14.8 million Australians who have a financial stake in property through their super funds.

With the current Australian population of 25.8 million projected by the Australian Bureau of Statistic to grow to between 37.4 and 49.2 million by 2066, demand for housing will only increase. Along with this massive growth in the property sector will come the career opportunities in it.

Real estate professionals will continue to be in high demand and career options are diverse with many areas for advancement.
