Too true and this is happening across every industry in Australia. The increased levels of qualifications make it much harder to get employment and for people to change careers. As an example, to become a marriage celebrant you need a Certificate IV in Celebrancy.
One of the biggest growth sectors in Australia is in training. This sector of the industry is able to act as a gateway to the jobs that job seekers demand. It is in this industry's interest that formal qualifications are required and they lobby the government for such regulation often to the detriment of society overall
I fear for what the impact on Aviation will be. Flight Instructors in certain roles already need a certificate IV in teaching and assessment.
