The short answer

The signals behind the Advanced Diploma of Interpreting are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035 and enrolments are rising. Job ads in June 2026 were down 11.6% on a year earlier and the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.

Is the work there?

Employers are posting fewer interpreter jobs than a year ago. About 300 interpreter jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 11.6% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 3,800 job ads, while 90 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
