Latest update

Occupation level consultation has now concluded. A draft classification containing all proposed changes including structural changes will be published on the ABS website towards end of July 2024. Users of the classification will be able to provide feedback on the complete set of proposed changes via the ABS Consultation Hub.

We would like to extend our appreciation for your valuable input. These changes reflect the collaborative efforts and insights provided by users, ensuring that the classification accurately represents a modern Australian labour market.
