AUR40520 is the nationally recognised Certificate IV behind insurance loss adjuster work. It has been the current version on the national register since 2020, when it replaced AUR40514. About 644 insurance loss adjuster jobs were advertised in June 2026, down 0.9% on a year earlier.
The independent signals behind the Certificate IV in Vehicle Loss Assessing are weak right now. The official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. Weigh both sides.
Job ads for insurance loss adjusters are holding steady. About 644 insurance loss adjuster jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 0.9% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 7,700 job ads, while 5 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 insurance investigators, insurance loss adjusters and insurance risk surveyors as not in shortage. The 2025 Occupation Shortage List rates Insurance Investigator, Insurance Loss Adjuster and Insurance Risk Surveyor as not in shortage.
Insurance loss adjuster jobs are projected to stay about flat. Jobs and Skills Australia projections put these occupations at 7,928 workers in May 2025, 8,109 by May 2030 (up 2.3%) and 8,549 by May 2035 (up 7.8%).
