Abstract
There is a significant demand and need for individuals with physics skills to support the Australian Government’s investment in nuclear technology and to build an AUKUS-ready workforce. This need is exacerbated by a shortage of specialist physics teachers in Australian schools with over 1 in 5 physics
teachers reportedly teaching “out-of-field”. As teachers significantly influence student’s choices and success, this lack of specialists compounds the skilled worker shortage.
