The AIP 2024 Career & Salary Survey is open until 27 September for the Australasian region for the Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical industries. The survey covers Australia, New Zealand and Asia and all packaging roles within these industries.

This year’s Career & Salary Survey – the only survey in the Australasian region dedicated exclusively to benchmarking salaries and employment trends within the packaging industry – will provide a clear look into roles, experience, education, career satisfaction, challenges and salaries of packaging professionals.

The AIP is seeking input from packaging professionals and colleagues to ensure that we can develop a definitive resource for our industry for the Australasian region.

With just a few minutes of your time, your thoughtful responses to the survey’s open-ended questions, will contribute to this important industry staple.

The results from the survey will be used to inform the 2024 AIP Career & Salary report; it will do 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 (including non-members) will receive the final 2024 report from the AIP for free.

The deadline to complete this survey is Friday 27 September, 2024. To complete the confidential survey please click here.
