New CRICOS Courses Added in June 2026: Construction, Care, Hospitality and Practical Career Pathways Lead the Update
The June 2026 CRICOS course update shows a clear expansion in practical, career-oriented education options for international students in Australia. Compared with the May 2026 course file, the June dataset contains 26,450 total course records, up from 26,374 records in May. That is a net increase of 76 records.
The detailed comparison shows that the June update is not simply a small technical refresh. There are 157 newly added CRICOS course records, while 81 previous records are no longer present in the June file. Among active, non-expired records, the count increased from 26,288 in May to 26,365 in June.
The strongest growth areas are not abstract academic fields. The June update is led by vocational and employment-linked study areas: construction, building trades, automotive technology, community services, aged care, disability support, early childhood education, hospitality, cookery, business and management.

The important point is that the June database grew by 76 total records, but the actual course movement was larger: 157 new records appeared, while 81 records disappeared from the file.
What Types of Courses Were Added in June?
The largest group of new courses belongs to Architecture and Building, with 51 new course records. This includes carpentry, painting and decorating, wall and floor tiling, bricklaying, solid plastering, building and construction, and construction practice.

This distribution makes the June update especially relevant for students looking for vocational, skills-based and migration-relevant study pathways.
Course Levels: Certificate III and Diploma Dominate
The new June courses are concentrated at practical qualification levels. Certificate III is the largest category, with 56 new records, followed by Diploma with 37 new records and Certificate IV with 21 new records.

This confirms the main pattern of the June update: the strongest expansion is in job-ready vocational education, not only in university degrees.
Construction and Building: The Biggest New Course Cluster
Construction is the standout area in the June CRICOS update. The database added a large number of building-related courses, especially at Certificate III, Certificate IV and Diploma levels.
Examples of newly added construction and building courses include:
| Course | Provider | CRICOS Course Code | Level | Provider Location Examples |
| Certificate III in Carpentry | Helix College Pty Ltd | 120428G | Certificate III | Melbourne, VIC |

The appearance of multiple carpentry, painting, tiling, bricklaying and building construction courses suggests continued demand for skilled construction pathways in the international education market.
Automotive Courses: Mechanical and Diagnostic Skills
The June update also added several automotive-related courses. These sit under Engineering and Related Technologies and are mostly vocational qualifications.
Examples include:

Locations: Where Are the New Courses Connected?
A direct course-to-location match is available for only part of the newly added courses. In the available course-location data, 47 of the 157 new course records have a direct course-location match.
Among those direct matches, the strongest locations are:
| Location | Direct New Course-Location Records |
| Melbourne, VIC | 35 |
| Mascot, NSW | 8 |
| Adelaide, SA | 6 |
| North Adelaide, SA | 4 |
When provider campus locations are considered, the June additions are connected with a wider geography, including:
| State / Territory | Example Provider Locations Seen in the Location Data |
| Victoria | Melbourne, Brunswick, Bundoora, East Bendigo, Point Cook, Werribee, Richmond, South Morang |
| New South Wales | Sydney, Mascot, Parramatta, Haymarket, Rockdale, Burwood, Ryde |

| Western Australia | Perth, Crawley |
| Australian Capital Territory | Turner, Barton |
| Tasmania / Northern Territory | limited provider-location presence in the broader location data |
Melbourne is the most visible location in the new June course set. This is especially clear in business, hospitality, community services, health services, construction and automotive examples.
What the June 2026 Update Means for Students
The June 2026 CRICOS update suggests four practical trends.
First, construction and trade qualifications are expanding strongly. Carpentry, bricklaying, tiling, painting, plastering and building construction appear repeatedly in the new course list.
Second, care-sector education remains active. Aged care, disability support, individual support, community services and early childhood education are all present among the new records.
Third, hospitality and cookery continue to be important international student pathways. New courses include commercial cookery, kitchen management, patisserie, hospitality management and tourism.
Fourth, business and management remain a broad default pathway, but the June additions are not limited to generic business diplomas. The update includes leadership, marketing, hospitality management and management learning.
Conclusion
The June 2026 CRICOS course update added 157 new course records and increased the overall course database from 26,374 to 26,450 total records. The net growth was 76 records, but the underlying movement was larger because some May records disappeared while new June records were added.
The strongest new course categories are Architecture and Building, Management and Commerce, Society and Culture, Education, and Engineering and Related Technologies. In practical terms, the June update is mainly about construction, trades, automotive, care, childcare, hospitality, business and management.
For students researching Australian study options, the most important takeaway is clear: the June CRICOS update expands practical career pathways, especially in Melbourne and other major provider locations across VIC, NSW, SA, QLD and WA.
