The Truth About Creative Careers in 2026

Let's address the elephant in the room. You might be feeling the pressure to study business or accounting because it's "safe". But here's what you don't know, Australia's creative industries are growing at a rate more than 50% higher than the rest of the workforce¹ and contribute over $112 billion to the economy annually.²

Creative Job demand keeps growing

The rise of streaming platforms, social media, gaming, and digital content has created an insatiable demand for skilled creatives. Every business now needs video content, every app needs a fresh design, and more.

The question isn't whether you'll find work with a creative degree. It's whether you'll regret not chasing your passion.
