The short answer
The signals behind the Diploma of Logistics are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035, enrolments are rising and job ads in June 2026 were up 9.8% on a year earlier. 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?

Neither is a job promise.
