AutoCAD vs. Revit for Civil Drafting in Sydney

Greetings, everyone. I am currently pursuing my Diploma in Civil Drafting and have a solid foundation in AutoCAD. However, I notice a significant emphasis on Revit and Civil 3D in discussions.

As I prepare to enter the Sydney and NSW infrastructure or residential markets in the coming years, I seek guidance on which software I should prioritize mastering first. Is proficiency in 2D drafting sufficient for entry-level positions, or has BIM (specifically Revit) become the standard for junior drafters? I welcome insights from professionals currently working in Australian firms.
