Local demand signals 4
Sector-level context showing where this capability is relevant in Johannesburg.
Financial Services
Johannesburg is the heart of South Africa's financial sector, housing Africa's largest stock exchange and the headquarters of major banks and insurance companies.
Mining and Resources
Founded on the gold rush, Johannesburg remains a global mining hub with major mining houses headquartered in the city.
Information and Communications Technology
Johannesburg is South Africa's ICT hub with rapidly expanding infrastructure, business process outsourcing centres, and the headquarters of the continent's largest telecoms operators.
Manufacturing and Automotive
Gauteng province is one of two centres for South Africa's automotive industry, with several international manufacturers operating production plants in the region.
Training venue
Johannesburg offers a strong selection of international-standard hotels and conference venues concentrated in the Sandton, Rosebank, and Melrose Arch business districts. Delegates can expect modern training facilities with reliable AV equipment and catering at four- and five-star properties.
Getting there
Direct flights are available from Perth Airport (PER) to Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) on Qantas, operating three times weekly with an approximate flight time of 11 hours 15 minutes. From other Australian cities, routing commonly connects via hubs such as Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific, with Sydney–Johannesburg taking around 23 hours including the layover.
Visa
Australian passport holders do not need a visa for tourism or business visits to South Africa for up to 90 days, so a 5-day professional training trip to Johannesburg fits within the visa-free stay limit. South Africa’s official ETA/e-Visa system also states that work is not permitted on an ETA and that e-Visa processing is available only for eligible passport holders arriving at OR Tambo, Cape Town, or Lanseria airports.
Safety
Stick to well-known business districts such as Sandton, Rosebank, and Melrose Arch, and avoid walking alone at night. Use Uber or pre-booked transfers rather than hailing taxis, and keep valuables out of sight.
