BSB50320 is the nationally recognised Diploma behind human resource adviser work. It has been the current version on the national register since 2020, when it replaced BSB50618. About 2,316 human resource adviser jobs were advertised in June 2026, down 4.1% on a year earlier.
The signals behind this qualification are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Specifically: employment in its occupations is projected to grow through 2035, national enrolments are rising and the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about any individual's result.
Employer demand for these roles is holding steady. Across Human Resource Adviser, about 2,316 jobs were advertised online in June 2026 (down 4.1% on a year earlier). Roughly 27,551 openings were advertised over the last 12 months, while 3,100 people enrolled in the qualification nationally in 2024. Enrolment counts people in training, not completions, so the two figures describe the pipeline and the market, not a job guarantee.
None of the occupations this qualification leads to is rated as in shortage on the official list. In the 2025 Occupation Shortage List assessment, Human Resource Adviser, Recruitment Consultant and Workplace Relations Adviser are rated not in shortage.
Employment in these occupations is projected to grow. Government projections put them at 89,700 workers in May 2025, 96,300 by May 2030 (up 7.4%) and 102,900 by May 2035 (up 14.8%).
People who complete this qualification tend to do better than is typical for a Diploma. In the latest national outcomes survey (2025), 96% were employed or in further study after training, against a Diploma median of 92% across 34 qualifications. Median income after training was $90,500, compared with $63,250 typical at this level. 91% were satisfied with the training, against 89% typical.
Enrolments in this qualification are growing. National enrolments rose from 2,950 in 2023, to 3,100 in 2024 (up 5.1%).
The register and the national framework set some of this. Providers set the rest.

Get Course maps BSB50320 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 2231) so the mapping can be checked. Job advertisement counts come from the Jobs and Skills Australia Internet Vacancy Index and count online ads, not vacancies filled. Enrolment counts come from NCVER Total VET Activity and count people in training, not completions. Outcome benchmarks marked “typical” are medians computed by Get Course across all qualifications at the same level in the same NCVER collection; they are derived figures, not official NCVER benchmarks. Funding rows appear only after verification against the official state program list.
