SFL30115 is the nationally recognised Certificate III behind florist work. It has been the current version on the national register since 2015, when it replaced SFL30110. About 19 florist jobs were advertised in June 2026, down 29.3% on a year earlier.
The independent signals behind the Certificate III in Floristry are weak right now. Job ads in June 2026 were down 29.3% on a year earlier and the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. Weigh both sides.
Employers are posting fewer florist jobs than a year ago. About 19 florist jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 29.3% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 300 job ads, while 1,600 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.

Browse coursesGet Course maps SFL30115 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 3621) 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 Certificate IIIs in the same NCVER collection; they are derived figures, not official NCVER benchmarks.
