Adelaide Industry Sectors
Adelaide excels at a range of industries including health and medical, high-tech, minerals and energy, food and agribusiness, defence and aerospace, and creative industries.
Adelaide is home to world-leading research and innovation. Here you will find creative and innovative precincts such as the Tonsley Innovation District, as well as the largest health and medical research precinct in the Southern Hemisphere.
Defence and Aerospace

Kanyini Space Services Mission satellite, the first of its kind in Australia, has been designed, built and tested in South Australia and will launch into low Earth orbit in 2024.
The Australian Space Agency, located in the creative and innovative precinct Lot Fourteen, is a legacy of the 68th International Astronautical Congress (IAC2017) which was held in the city. The precinct is also home to the Australian Space Discovery Centre, which provides science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, engagement and inspiration for young Australians.
Adelaide’s defence industry is also strong, with Australia’s SSN-AUKUS submarines being built just outside the city at Techport . The program will develop Australia’s workforce over the next 30-years and expand Australia’s defence partnerships nationally and internationally.
Health and Medical

Adelaide is home to the largest health and medical research precinct in the Southern Hemisphere. Adelaide BioMed City’s flagship facility – the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) - is located adjacent to the city centre and is a dedicated space for advanced technology.
The precinct brings together leading-edge research and education institutions and connects them with established businesses, and start-ups, as well as business incubators and accelerators to connect and collaborate.
Limitations and alternatives
While accessibility is a priority for Tourism Australia, we cannot control the accessibility of content outside of our domain – including linked websites or content. We recognise that some of our content is not as accessible as it could be. Meeting accessibility guidelines is an ongoing process, and we are consistently optimising for the best digital experience.
Despite our best efforts to ensure our digital content meets WCAG 2.1, there may be some limitations. Please contact us if you observe an issue. Below is a list of known limitations that we are regularly reviewing:
- Third party plug ins – Embedded third-party content is subject to external business guidelines, which can impose technical limitations. We conduct regular reviews to enhance our content and technical infrastructure, aiming to minimise reliance on third-party plugins and mitigate their constraints.
- Visual design - Reviews are done regularly to see how we can improve to make our digital platform layouts and content more accessible to our audience.
- Navigation - On certain pages, assistive technologies can render/read out certain attributes twice as the attributes are the same for title and decorative icons. We are regularly auditing our website attributes to be unique to remove the duplication.
- Time-based media - Many videos across Tourism Australia websites currently do not have an accessible alternative. Either the video captions or descriptions are missing for the video content. We are investigating and implementing video related guidelines across our online content. Any new videos added to the website will now require accessible alternatives to be available.
- Assets - We are regularly updating outdated documents and assets used across the website. We convert documents to new formats upon request within five business days.
