The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) has opened its 2023 Career & Salary Survey for the Australasian region, including Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The annual survey and findings report has been developed in partnership with its sister-association the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP).

This year’s Salary Survey – which the AIP says is the only survey in the Australasian Region dedicated exclusively to benchmarking salaries and employment trends within the packaging industry – aims to provide a clear look into roles, experience, education, career satisfaction, challenges and salaries of packaging professionals.

The AIP says it is seeking input from everyone who works in and around packaging, across all categories, to complete the survey to ensure that they can develop a definitive resource for our industry for the region. The survey is designed for all job roles and positions, and covers Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

The results from the survey will be made in to the 2023 AIP Career & Salary report and will cover roles, education, experience, career satisfaction, concerns and salaries. The AIP says the report created from this survey does more than report your salary; it touches on your current employment status, educational factors, future career prospects and more.

Those who complete the confidential survey will receive the final 2023 report from the AIP at no charge.

The deadline to complete this survey is Friday 3 November, 2023.
