Replaced by AI
Tracking every Australian job loss attributed to AI.
Amber bubbles represent rounds where AI or automation was cited. Grey bubbles are context rounds where AI was not cited. Dashed outlines indicate estimates or in-scope pools.

The count since January 2024
- roles where the employer or a union directly cited AI
- 0
- roles in rounds where automation was named as one factor
- 0
Named AU rounds of 30 or more roles, every row includes a source link at time of publication. Grey bubbles are rounds affecting the same kinds of roles where AI was not cited; they are shown for context and never counted. Rows without a confirmed figure, reversed rounds, in-scope pools like the Federal APS voluntary redundancy programme, and events that are not headcount rounds, like the ABC newsroom strike, are also excluded from all totals. Where automation was named as one factor, the count includes the full announced headcount, because employers do not disclose how many roles automation accounts for.
Methodology
Inclusion rules. A round is logged when a named Australian employer announces redundancies affecting 30 or more roles in the role groups this site tracks, and the announcement is reported by at least one published source with a verifiable URL.
AI-cited definition. A round is marked "AI cited" when the employer, a union representing affected workers, or the published source directly attributes the job losses to artificial intelligence or automation. Partial attribution ("automation was one factor") is marked separately. Rounds where AI is not mentioned are logged as grey context bubbles and excluded from all totals.
Context-round rule. A non-AI round is logged only when a named AU employer announces 30 or more AU roles affecting the role groups this site tracks.
Corrections. If you believe a row is inaccurate, contact data@replacedbyai.au. Corrections are logged in the public changelog and applied via a reviewed pull request.
Data journalism, not advice. This site records announced redundancy rounds from published sources. It does not predict individual job loss or offer career, financial, or legal advice.
