Australia has been fine. Amongst the big software engineering hirers (Google, Atlassian, Canva, big banks, WiseTech, AWS) only Google Sydney is known to be doing layoffs. Zendesk (Melbourne) did layoffs last year, but this was small scale I think, and mostly driven by their company-specific troubles.

Several companies did layoffs here. Australia is not immune. Some American companies like Google and twitter layed off etc. "Mark43, a US company that builds online platforms for public safety organisations like police, fire or other emergency services, made its entire Australian office redundant at the end of June. Former staff member Gary* estimates around 70 people were laid off, with most of them based in Sydney." but also local companies https://itbrief.com.au/story/one-in-five-young-aussies-in-tech-expecting-redundancy https://itbrief.com.au/story/one-in-five-young-aussies-in-te... https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/at-work/finder-staff-shocked-by-abrupt-job-cuts-as-15-of-the-business-is-restructured/news-story/6907cf73ddddceb30018521871c89d3c https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/at-work/finder-staff-sh... https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/at-work/sydney-technology-company-kinde-lays-off-285-of-staff-as-focus-moves-to-product-team/news-story/618e97ecfe4b7e088a6ff39a70a78bcb https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/at-work/sydney-technolo... https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/other-industries/melbourne-tech-company-envato-lays-off-100-staff/news-story/6c76357cb299163d45ba2a987b593f98 https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/other-industries/me...

Australia here also. I'm a Tech Lead with a solid CV looking for a new gig. I'm finding it noticeably more difficult to get recruiter attention (let alone interviews) than I'd expected. My gut feeling is that there are likely more candidates applying for any given job than there were late last year.
