Patent examiners investigate patent applications and report on whether they comply with the requirements of Australian patent legislation before granting patent rights for new inventions. The work of patent examiners is technically complex. It involves knowledge of technical processes used in industry and advances in scientific research. It also involves making legalistic decisions based on their knowledge of patent law.

Physical science technical officers support scientists in the physical sciences. They perform laboratory tests on solids, liquids and gases, analyse test data and carry out a range of technical functions. Work in physical science areas such as physics, chemistry, biotechnology and engineering is usually undertaken in support of other scientists.

Physicists study the behaviour of the physical world at the most basic level and find practical ways to apply new knowledge gained from their research in areas of science and technology.Physicists are usually identified within three broad roles:• theoretical physicists, who develop theories or models of how particular aspects of the world work• experimental physicists, who test these theories, determining their limits and suggesting new approaches to them• applied physicists, who apply these findings in practical settings, such as within industry and through the introduction of new technology.There is interaction between all three roles and physicists generally have skills in each of these areas.

Physiotherapists assess, treat and prevent disorders in human movement caused by injury and disease. Further into their career, physiotherapists can choose to practise in specific areas such as muscle and skeletal conditions, women's health, aged care, chest conditions, occupational health and safety, sports injuries, babies and young children, problems of the nervous system and spinal injuries, administration, education or research.

Pilots fly various types of aircraft, including light planes, helicopters or airline aircraft, depending on the aircraft type they are approved to fly.
