Careers in the actuarial profession
There are currently more than 1000 actuaries working in Australia. About 20 per cent work in life insurance, 18 per cent in general insurance and 18 per cent are engaged in superannuation. The remainder are employed in finance and investment, management, government service and within universities. There are more than 300 Australian qualified actuaries working overseas.
As well as focusing on finance and
insurance issues, today’s actuary
is likely to engage with fields
such as health, education, public infrastructure, climate change and
environmental sector and genetics.
