11000NAT is the nationally accredited Advanced Diploma of Policing. It prepares you for work as a police officer. It has been the current version on the national register since 2022, when it replaced 10617NAT. About 13 police officer jobs were advertised in June 2026, down 36.5% on a year earlier.
The signals behind the Advanced Diploma of Policing are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035. Job ads in June 2026 were down 36.5% on a year earlier, the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage and enrolments are falling. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
Employers are posting fewer police officer jobs than a year ago. About 13 police officer jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 36.5% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 200 job ads, while 260 people were training in the course nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
Australia's official shortage list rates police officers as not in shortage. The 2025 Occupation Shortage List rates Police Officer as not in shortage.
