Dear John,

Tomorrow morning, Science & Technology Australia will launch the STEM
Career Pathways survey.

*We need your help to make it Australia’s biggest-ever survey of STEM
conditions and careers!*

We aim to make the STEM Career Pathways survey
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Kg_aCvl1rKiE4N2yySQ7C0m?domain=research.net> Australia’s most
comprehensive snapshot of current conditions and career patterns for
scientists, technologists, mathematicians and engineers.
SHARE THIS SURVEY LINK! <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Kg_aCvl1rKiE4N2yySQ7C0m?domain=research.net>

The study will gather crucial information on workloads, conditions, career
development and opportunities for people to move between industry and
research across Australia’s STEM sector.

This survey is being run by Science & Technology Australia
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/ZlORCwV1vMfvP8ARRSqCC_h?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au> to gather updated evidence
on STEM career pathways and movement across the sector.

It will inform research commissioned by the Office of the Chief Scientist
<https://www.chiefscientist.gov.au/> for the Prime Minister’s National
Science and Technology Council
<https://www.chiefscientist.gov.au/national-science-and-technology-council>.

This is a golden opportunity for the sector to speak up and share views and
experiences of working in STEM, and the information gathered will feed into
policy deliberations.

*We need you to share a **link to the survey*
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Kg_aCvl1rKiE4N2yySQ7C0m?domain=research.net>* to your members and
encourage them to participate.*

To assist you, we have put together a suite of social media tiles
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/R3jOCxngwOfLBM9QQsYmwtO?domain=dropbox.com>
that you can use, and text that you can use in newsletters to help promote
the survey (see below).

<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/R3jOCxngwOfLBM9QQsYmwtO?domain=dropbox.com>

The survey takes around *10 minutes to complete*. It is open to anyone with
a STEM qualification and you can respond anonymously. All survey
participants can enter the draw to *win one of two $500 JB HiFi vouchers*.
The entry form is at the end of the survey.

This survey opens tomorrow and can be done here
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Kg_aCvl1rKiE4N2yySQ7C0m?domain=research.net>. It closes on 14 June 2023.

Thank you!

Are you thriving in your STEM career – or not? If you’ve ever thought about
leaving the sector, why was that - and what made you stay? Has your career
in STEM been planned – or largely improvised?

We need you to share your experiences to create Australia’s biggest survey
on STEM Career Pathways.

The *STEM Career Pathways survey*
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Kg_aCvl1rKiE4N2yySQ7C0m?domain=research.net> will be Australia’s most
comprehensive snapshot of current conditions and career patterns for
scientists, technologists, mathematicians and engineers.

We also need to hear from people who have left STEM careers – to know more
about why they left.

The study will gather crucial information on workloads, conditions, career
development and opportunities for people to move between industry and
research across Australia’s STEM sector.

This survey is being run by Science & Technology Australia
