Only limited independent signals are available for this qualification yet. Specifically: its main occupation is rated in national shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about any individual's result.
Employers are advertising fewer of these roles than a year ago. Across Vehicle Body Builder, about 25 jobs were advertised online in June 2026 (down 24.5% on a year earlier). Roughly 307 openings were advertised over the last 12 months, while 25 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.
At least one occupation this qualification leads to is officially rated as in national shortage. In the 2025 Occupation Shortage List assessment, Vehicle Body Builder and Vehicle Trimmer are rated in national shortage.
Employment in these occupations is projected to stay about flat. Government projections put them at 6,300 workers in May 2025, 6,200 by May 2030 (down 1.4%) and 6,500 by May 2035 (up 2.5%).
National enrolment data for this qualification begins in 2024: 25 people enrolled that year. There is not yet a second year to compare against.
The register and the national framework set some of this. Providers set the rest.
State funding for MSM31122 is being verified against official program lists.
Eligibility and student contributions vary by program and provider. The official state listing is the source of truth. In a subsidised place the government pays most of the tuition and you pay a co-contribution set by the program and provider.
