The signals behind the Advanced Diploma of Professional Screenwriting are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035. 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.
Job ads for authors, and book and script editorses are holding steady. About 92 authors, and book and script editors jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 1.4% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 1,300 job ads, while 95 people were training in the course nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
