The short answer

The independent signals behind the Certificate IV in Gas Supply Industry Operations line up. Gasfitters are in national shortage, employment is projected to grow through 2035 and job ads in June 2026 were up 5.8% on a year earlier. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.

Jobs and Skills Australia

Is the work there?

Employers are posting more gasfitter jobs than a year ago. About 1,364 gasfitter jobs were advertised online in June 2026, up 5.8% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 16,100 job ads, while 15 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
