Australia’s ANZ–Indeed Job Ads rose 2.2% month-on-month in September 2026, slowing from a marginally revised 2.6% gain in the previous month while marking the fifth straight month of expansion. The series remained 24.4% above its 2010s average, highlighting continued resilience in labour demand despite the Reserve Bank of Australia’s rate-hiking cycle. However, labour-market conditions typically respond to weaker economic activity with a lag, suggesting the impact of higher interest rates has yet to be fully reflected in hiring demand. ANZ Senior Economist Jasmine Zheng said economic momentum and labour demand are expected to slow as tighter financial conditions continue to flow through the economy. As a result, ANZ expects Job Ads to gradually trend lower over the coming months. On an annual basis, Job Ads jumped 12.9%, underscoring the still-strong level of labour demand despite signs of moderation in monthly growth. source: ANZ - Indeed Australian Job Ads

Australia Job Ads Accelerate
Australia’s ANZ–Indeed Job Ads rose 2.5% month -over-month in August 2026, quickening from July’s upwardly revised 1.9% gain and marking a second straight expansion. It was also the fastest pace since February, underscoring resilient labour demand despite higher borrowing costs. Seasonal hiring ahead of Christmas lifted retail and food service roles, while tech-related ads eased modestly, with softer demand in software, data, and analytics. ANZ Senior Economist Jasmine Zheng cautioned that momentum may fade as elevated rates restrain demand, expecting job ads to trend lower and unemployment to rise only modestly given the series’ resilience. Year-on-year, ads climbed 7.8% and remained 21.4% above their decade average, highlighting strength even as cyclical headwinds build.

Australia Job Ads Rebound in July
Australia’s ANZ–Indeed Job Ads increased 0.8% month-over-month in July 2026, reversing an upwardly revised 0.1% decline in the previous month and marking the fourth monthly rise so far this year. The resilience in job ads is consistent with the continued strength of the labour market, according to ANZ economist Aaron Luk. "Following the release of June quarter inflation data, we remain of the view that the RBA will keep rates on hold at 4.35%, he added. That said, the trajectory of the monthly trimmed mean does suggest there remains the risk of a rate hike in November. Indeed senior economist Callam Pickering noted gains were relatively broad-based in July, led by management and physician & surgeon opportunities. Those two occupations, along with nursing, have been the fastest-growing roles over the past year. Compared with a year earlier, job ads increased 2.1% and remained 16.2% above their decade average.
