The short answer

The long-term signals behind the Certificate III in Tourism are positive, though current job advertising is below a year earlier. Tourist information officers are in national shortage and employment is projected to grow through 2035. Job ads in June 2026 were down 22.1% on a year earlier. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.

Is the work there?

Over the last 12 months there were about 3,700 job ads, while 15 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline.

How we calculate these figures

Get Course maps SIT30125 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 4516) so the mapping can be checked.
