Regional Voice 2024 Report

The challenge in attracting skilled workers to regional South Australia and a persistent increase in costs see business confidence in negative territory, according to the findings of our 2024 Regional Voice Survey.

The cost and availability of labour, and high energy prices are the main concerns of regional businesses, with 60% of respondents naming these among the top five biggest issues for their business.

The 2023-24 Regional Voice is the fourth instalment since the inaugural study in 2016 and is the most comprehensive survey of its kind for regional South Australian businesses.
