Job ads for other draftspersons are holding steady. About 580 other draftsperson jobs were advertised online in June 2026, up 4.4% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 6,900 job ads, while 10 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline.

Browse coursesGet Course maps MEM80125 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 3129) 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.
