AMP30622 is the nationally recognised Certificate III behind product grader work. It has been the current version on the national register since 2023, when it replaced AMP30716 and AMP30616. About 503 product grader jobs were advertised in June 2026, down 13.1% on a year earlier.
The signals behind the Certificate III in Meat Processing are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Enrolments are rising. Job ads in June 2026 were down 13.1% on a year earlier and the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
Employers are posting fewer product grader jobs than a year ago. About 503 product grader jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 13.1% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 6,300 job ads, while 235 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
Australia's official shortage list rates product examiners, product graders and product testers as not in shortage. The 2025 Occupation Shortage List rates Product Examiner, Product Grader and Product Tester as not in shortage.
