Latest update

Preliminary Proposed Changes for Consultation Round 2 are now available on 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. 

A final consultation round in mid-2024 will allow users an opportunity to provide feedback on the complete set of proposed changes, before finalising the classification update for release by December 2024.
