Whole of Australian Government Occupation Coding Service
A new capability to make coding data to the latest standard occupation classification easier, faster and cheaper.
Overview
The Whole of Australian Government Occupation Coding Service is ready to support real-world coding. This new capability enables consistent occupation data coding across the Australian data landscape, using the latest classification versions available. Trained on AI Machine Learning (ML) models, the service uses cloud compute for power and scale to achieve highly automated, high-quality coding.
The service codes single records in real time, supporting online surveys and website forms. It can also quickly and efficiently code large datasets in batches, up to millions of records.
The service can code data to the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA) 2024, and the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) Australian Update 2022.
Note: as with any ML-based service, the coder may return unexpected results for ambiguous inputs. We encourage feedback to coding.capability@abs.gov.au to help us continue refining the service for all users.
