The end of the financial year is a natural moment to review progress, invest in your future and set yourself up for FY27. For ACS members, it’s also a reminder that the tech professionals who actively assess their skills, grow their capabilities, and certify their achievements will be best positioned for new opportunities in the year ahead.
June marks the end of the financial year. But it’s also the beginning of what comes next.
For tech professionals, EOFY is more than budgets, planning cycles and reporting deadlines. It’s a chance to invest in yourself before the year resets. To build capability now. To position yourself for new opportunities in FY27. And to make sure any remaining professional development budget doesn’t go unused.

Meanwhile, more than half of workers already lack at least one digital skill needed for their role.
