Automotive manufacturing industry in Western Australia
Automotive manufacturing industry in Western Australia The Automotive manufacturing industry in Australia encompasses the manufacture of motor vehicles which includes:
cars sports utility vehicles (SUVs) light commercial vehicles buses vans medium, heavy and special purpose highway trucks, such as fire trucks
The vehicles produced are used for both private and commercial purposes. The industry also includes the manufacture of motor vehicle bodies and automotive parts and accessories. Australia will be increasingly competing with Asian manufacturers in the small, fuel efficient car market, and technologies such as hybrid vehicles, emission control systems, alternative fuels and improved combustion systems which are gaining consumer interest as they enter the market. The Automotive Manufacturing industry consists of four sectors:
Motor vehicle manufacturing Motor vehicle body manufacturing Automotive electrical and instrument manufacturing Automotive parts and accessories manufacturing
Western Australia is a minor location for business within the Automotive Manufacturing industry with approximately 10% of all automotive manufacturing businesses in Australia1. Sector Motor vehicle manufacturing Motor vehicle body manufacturing Automotive electrical and instrument manufacturing Automotive parts and accessories manufacturing
Percentage of sector 10.4% 10.8% 7.2% 10.3%
(For a more in-depth breakdown of the sectors within the Automotive manufacturing industry, refer to „Automotive industry in Australia‟.)

Skills and training The Education and Work report is published by the ABS annually. The most recent edition of Education and Work May 2009 was published in November 2009. Data published in the Education and Work report is classified according to the Australian Standard Classification of Education 2001 (ASCED). In Education and Work May 2009, the most relevant classification is the narrow field: 0305 Automotive engineering and technology. This classification includes (but is not limited to):
030501 Automotive engineering 030503 Vehicle mechanics 030505 Automotive electrics and electronics 030511 Panel beating 030515 Automotive vehicle operations 031599 Automotive engineering and technology n.e.c.5
Education and Work May 2009 only contains data relating to the broad field „03 Engineering and Related Technologies‟6 and is too broad to be considered within this document. The Automotive manufacturing industry is covered by the AUM08 Automotive Manufacturing Training Package. There are eight qualifications in the Training Package ranging from Certificate I to Diploma7. This Training Package was initially released in October 2008. Please note: The training data within this information sheet contains information relating to only to both AUM08 and the preceding Training Package (AUM00).

The National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) collects data on commencements and completions in vocational education qualifications via two instruments – the “National Apprentice and trainee collection” and the “National VET provider collection”. The “National Apprentice and trainee collection” includes data for all formally notified apprentices and trainees attending either publicly funded or private Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). The “National VET provider collection” only contains data from publicly funded institutions such as Technical and Further Education (TAFE) colleges. Data is collected for the apprentice and trainee collection quarterly and for the VET provider collection annually. In 2009, 26 people in Western Australia commenced a formal contract of training in a qualification from an AUM Training Package, while 5 people completed a formal contract of training. All commencements and completions were at Certificate III level. The qualification that had the most commencements and completions was Certificate III in Automotive Manufacturing (Bus/Truck/Trailer). In 2009, all contracts commenced were for this qualification. In the same year, 5 people completed an apprenticeship in Certificate III in Automotive Manufacturing (Bus/Truck/Trailer) which accounted for all contract completions8. There were no traineeships or apprenticeships at Certificate I, Certificate II or Certificate IV or above in 2009.
