AGL strongly supports the Australian Government’s ambition to meet its long-term ambition of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We commend the government’s focus on developing a National Energy Workforce Strategy (NEWS) to support the development of the workforce required to enable the energy transition and help deliver on this net zero ambition.

We are supportive of the NEWS objectives, and in particularly the role that the Australian Government can have in improving information and coordinating a national approach to attracting, enabling, and retaining a workforce to support the energy sector.
