Ballarat Tech Roles Signal Developments at Accenture Centre and GovHub

Ballarat currently lists 75 to 78 technology jobs and more than 166 IT vacancies across 372 companies including IBM, Accenture, ANZ and JB Hi-Fi.

Current Job Market Snapshot

These openings reflect a small but active local IT sector where roles range from Information Systems Technician positions paying $70,000 to $90,000 a year to Systems Engineer and Network Administrator roles paying $75,000 to $85,000 a year. IT Support Technician positions often require at least two years of experience in networking and system administration.

Accenture Facility Opening

Accenture plans to open a new technology and operations centre in Ballarat in May 2025. The centre will create positions in application development, IT service management and business function support while focusing on development of local talent.

Market Context and Potential Shifts

Main employers such as IBM and Telstra have reduced local presence through downsizing or offshoring. Reports indicate the State Government may relocate IT roles to the Ballarat GovHub, which could position the facility as a larger employer in coming periods.

Average pay across Ballarat jobs stands at $76,000 a year. Entry-level technology positions begin near $29,000 while experienced workers can reach $350,000 annually.

Next Steps for Applicants

Job seekers can review listings on major platforms to match skills with the roles at the listed companies and monitor updates on the Accenture centre and any GovHub activity. Checking requirements for two or more years of relevant experience will help target suitable openings.
