TLI30219 is the nationally recognised Certificate III in Stevedoring. It prepares you for work as a waterside worker. It has been the current version on the national register since 2020, when it replaced TLI33518. Employers posted about 166 waterside worker jobs in June 2026, down 16.4% on a year earlier.
Only limited independent signals are available for this qualification yet. Specifically: national enrolments are rising. These are official statistics, not a promise about any individual's result.
Employers are advertising fewer of these roles than a year ago. Across Waterside Worker, about 166 jobs were advertised online in June 2026 (down 16.4% on a year earlier). Roughly 2,450 openings were advertised over the last 12 months, while 95 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.
Employment in these occupations is projected to stay about flat. Government projections put them at 14,700 workers in May 2025, 14,500 by May 2030 (down 1.6%) and 15,000 by May 2035 (up 1.5%).
More people are choosing this qualification each year. National enrolments rose from 5 in 2023, to 95 in 2024 (up 1800%).
The register and the national framework set some of this. Providers set the rest.
State funding for TLI30219 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.

Browse coursesGet Course maps TLI30219 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 8911) 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.
