Career Opportunities

Key opportunities include:
Logistics – A growing industry!

The logistics industry in Australia is estimated to account for 8.6 per cent of GDP, employing over 1,000,000 Australians. It involves part of the supply chain that plans, implements and controls the efficient, forward and reverse flow of storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption. This involves freighting hundreds of billions of tons of goods each year in Australia alone! Ensuring an effective supply chain is a not only a competitive advantage for Australian companies but a requirement for long term survival. Logistics careers have continued to develop in Australia and around the world, and have recognised value within small, medium and large Australia companies.

Pathways

The Diploma of Logistics is a fantastic way to launch your career in the industry that drives Australia’s economy. It’s also a great step up for those who’ve been in the industry for years.

If you want to take your learning and professional development even further, you can use the Diploma as a pathway to university studies. You may be able to apply and/or get course credit towards a related degree, such as a Bachelor of Business (Logistics and Supply Chain Management). It’s best to check first with the uni you’re thinking of applying to, before you enrol with Monarch Institute.

Industry experts and thought leaders
Ian Burns
Trainer "If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on" – Sheryl Sandberg

I have over 30 years’ combined industry experience as a logistician in high volume manufacturing, warehousing and supply chain industries. I’ve also had experience in the superannuation industry. Past industry projects I’ve contributed to include the 2000 Olympic Games Project  in Sydney.

Over the years, I’ve accumulated several high level tertiary qualifications in logistics, supply chain, sustainability, and management.

What makes him jump out of bed each morning?

I am always looking for opportunities to make a difference and support people in their career choices. I believe that education is a silver bullet that can be used as a platform for on-going success.

David Wilson
Mentor "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become."
- Steve Jobs

I am a geographer and transport and logistics researcher. I’ve served as the Director of the Ministry of Transport in Victoria, Australia, as the Executive Logistics Manager at Willow Ware Australia, a transport planner at the Chicago Area Transport Study and the Southern California Rapid Transit District. I have also acted as a consultant on major transport projects for Bunge, as well as Kmart, Humes Pipes, the Port of Melbourne, Australia Post and Australian Air Express.

I have been an invited guest lecturer for many organisations and presented at seminars in Australia and the U.S. I’ve delivered lectures for companies all over Australia, as well as in Indonesia and Singapore.

Over the years I have held lecturing appointments at the Universities of Melbourne, New South Wales and Monash in civil engineering, geography, marketing and information systems. In March 2005 I was a guest lecturer at Purdue University.

I specialise in supply chain modelling, production operations management and modelling and simulation. In terms of modelling, I have advised Ratio (one of Australia’s leading urban and transport planning consultancies) on the development of mathematical and statistical models for urban planning.
