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 the Diploma of Human Resource Management 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 human resource advisers are holding steady. About 2,316 human resource adviser jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 4.1% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 27,600 job ads, while 2,785 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 human resource advisers, recruitment consultants and workplace relations advisers as not in shortage. The 2025 Occupation Shortage List rates Human Resource Adviser, Recruitment Consultant and Workplace Relations Adviser as not in shortage.
Human resource adviser jobs are projected to grow. Jobs and Skills Australia projections put these occupations at 89,673 workers in May 2025, 96,298 by May 2030 (up 7.4%) and 102,919 by May 2035 (up 14.8%).

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 Diplomas 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.
