With the unemployment rates going down and manufacturing and consumer spending numbers going up, we have reason to believe that Australia is at its highest economic surge in the recent years. And riding on this wave of prosperity are the women who courageously tried their hands and end bringing home the highest salary this year. The 20 highest paying jobs for women this 2016 is topped by law professionals and then further dominated mostly by those in the medical field. A law or medicine degree really is your path to financial success.

 

 

Judge - $355,844 annually

The arbiters of the court took home the most expensive metaphorical bacon on this list. And to add more good news for the womankind of the law, Australia has just named Susan Kiefel as its first female High Court chief justice, a position held by men for 113 years.

 

 

Neurosurgeon - $323,682 annually

Contrary to popular belief, a neurosurgeon’s s expertise isn’t limited to the brain, but they also treat disorders that involves the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and the extra-cranial cerebrovascular system.

 

 

Plastic and reconstructive surgeon - $281,608 annually

Australia holds one of the highest standards when it comes to plastic and reconstructive surgery. The guidelines are constantly being updated to keep up with the times and ensure patient safety.

 

 

Futures trader - $281,600 annually

No, these merchants do not time travel. Futures refer to financial contracts providing the buyer an obligation to acquire an asset (and the seller an obligation to sell an asset) at a predetermined future date and price.

 

 

Vascular surgeon - $271,529 annually

Vascular surgeons deal with problems with arteries and veins.

 

 

Gynecologist and Obstetrician $264,628 - $271,529 annually

Many people confuse the two (and understandably, there is an overlap). A gynecologist specializes in the medical care of women and their reproductive system. While an obstetrician deals with the surgical care of women and their children during pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal care.

 

 

Gastroenterologist - $260,925 annually

Gastroenterologists are also among the highest paid medical practitioners in the UK, USA, and Canada.

 

 

Magistrate - $260,161 annually

While magistrates perform almost the same role as a judge, magistrates have lesser powers and handles only small and minor cases.

 

 

Anaesthetist - $243,582 annually

Anaesthetists and anesthesiologists are the same. The latter is an American term.

 

 

Ophthalmologist - $217,242 annually

An ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) specializes in eye and vision care and can perform. Not to be confused with optometrists and opticians (both not on this list). The former provide primary vision care via sight testing and correction to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of vision changes. The latter designs, verifies, and fits eyeglass lenses and frames

 

 

And here are the runner ups:

 

 

Cardiologist - $215,920 annually

Urologist - $213,094 annually

Surgeon (general) - $210,796 annually

Medical oncologist - $208,612 annually

Diagnostic and interventional radiologist - $180,695 annually

Cardiothoracic surgeon - $175,500 annually

Specialist recruitment firm Robert Walters on his 17th Annual Salary Survey released early this year told that majority of the professional salaries will remain steady but amiable. But the same survey also pin pointed a very few professional roles who salaries will perform better than the rest due to economic growth, movement from the reliance sector, and enjoyment of larger investments in related industries. These jobs are also expected to have greater demands for the same reasons.

If you are planning to switch careers, consider these four professional roles in Australia.

 

 

Finance Specialists

Especially those who are in the audit, risk, and compliance roles. Walters said these jobs will go through high demand this year, due to the rising globalization of compliance and collaborations between business firms, financial institutions, and regulators. Compliance specialists (especially those with experience in foreign jurisdictions) are needed to make sure such activities are in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Other roles included in this windfall of occupation demand are accountants with technical skills in treasury, as well as capital management and regulatory reporting, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria. For customer-focused employees, other areas of demand are employees in the wealth and superannuation sectors, financial planners and credit assessment professionals.

 

 

Sales and Marketing Professionals

There are 60,000 marketing professionals in the country right now, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This number is estimated to increase by 100% in three years as marketing swiftly becomes one the most in demand skill set by employers nationwide.

Those who can market and sell complex solutions and possess background and credentials in digital and consumer insights using data analytics are more likely to get hired or be given pay hikes.

The marketing world has seen brand promotion and power shifting to consumers in the last five years, due in part to social media, content-sharing, and word of mouth in the Internet. Sales and marketing professionals are trying to wrestle this power back, thus the constant need for highly-skilled sales experts.

 

 

IT Security Experts

This will be very apparent in cyber security, big data and analytics, e-commerce, and financial technology. According to Robert Walters, these skills will experience an increment in global demand and experience an increase in salary bids by 25% in some markets.

Cyber security is a major problem in the country with various large companies being targeted by malicious attacks including David Jones and Kmart, as well as government agencies like the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Government Parliamentary Services. A few weeks ago, a $195 million budget was created for Australia’s cyber security strategy to secure the safety of the country and its economic growth.

 

 

Construction Engineers

Infrastructure projects in Australia are on a roll due to the pouring investments. This causing a drive in demand for skilled candidates.

Weeks ago, a mammoth $5 billion fund is being rolled out by the federal government to finance public transport projects. This is in addition to the $50 million allocated for reinforcing new infrastructure projects for the nation's cities. These and other undertakings like the construction of dams and pipes, the Ipswich Motorway upgrade between Rocklea and Darra, and the Western Sydney airport, all of which will materialize in a decade or two, will like to hold up huge demands and salary increases in the construction engineering profession.
