ANZSCO - 2022 Australian update

This release of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) was limited to a targeted update of occupations relating to construction-related trades occupations and some emerging occupations. The updates in this release have been made by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in consultation with other Australian Government Agencies.

A comprehensive review of ANZSCO has now commenced to identify where further changes to the classification may be required. Find information on how to participate.

What's new

The ANZSCO 2022, Australian Update reflects a review of occupations associated with the following areas:

construction-related trades occupations, and
emerging occupations identified by the National Skills Commission in 2020.

These areas are based on priority areas for the Australian labour market and were chosen to test a new approach to updating this classification. This update represents an incremental step of a larger program of work to update this classification. A comprehensive review of ANZSCO has now commenced to identify where further changes to the classification may be required.

This update has been undertaken in respect of the Australian labour market only. It has not considered changes in the New Zealand labour market.

This is the fifth revision since ANZSCO was established in 2006. In addition to the classification, this publication contains a summary of the classification and concordances to the previous revision (2021 Australian Update).

A complete list of changes (by code number) is available in ANZSCO 2022 in the data downloads.

Introduction

Overview

The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) was jointly developed by the ABS, Stats NZ and the then Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. It provides a basis for the standardised collection, analysis and dissemination of occupation data for Australia and New Zealand. It was established in 2006 and has been partially revised in 2009, 2013 and 2019 jointly by the Australian and New Zealand statistical offices. In 2021, a targeted revision related to selected areas of the Australian labour market was undertaken by the ABS. Another revision related to different selected areas of the Australian labour market has been undertaken by the ABS in 2022. ANZSCO is intended to provide an integrated framework for storing, organising and reporting occupation-related information in both statistical and other analytical applications, such as matching job seekers to job vacancies and providing career information.

ANZSCO is used in ABS and Stats NZ censuses and surveys where occupation data are collected since it was established in 2006. ANZSCO is also used to measure and understand labour markets. Examples include the development of workforce strategies to support industry and establishing mechanisms to ensure the availability of skilled job holders via educational pathways.

Understanding ANZSCO

To assist users to understand the detailed structure and content of ANZSCO, and to assist in interpreting statistics classified to it, the following information has been provided:

explanation of the conceptual basis of ANZSCO
description of the comparability between ANZSCO and ISCO-08
explanation of the classification structure and codes

Revisions to ANZSCO

An important consideration when developing a classification is the need to build in sufficient robustness to allow for long-term usage. This robustness facilitates meaningful time series analysis. This must be balanced against the need for revisions which ensure the classification is contemporary.

Revisions to ANZSCO occur to identify emerging occupations and/or groups, aggregate declining occupations and/or groups, and change titles or descriptions of occupations and/or groups. There have been four revisions to ANZSCO since its establishment in 2006 as shown in the below table.

Revision	Year of publication	Summary of revision
First Edition	2006	ANZSCO established.
First Edition, Revision 1	2009	Minor changes to the classification structure and definitional changes for some occupations.
Version 1.2	2013	Identifying newly emerging occupations, aggregating declining occupations, changing titles of occupations, amending alternative titles or specialisations for selected occupations. A small set of changes were made for unit groups.
Version 1.3	2019	Revisions to skill level, registration and licensing requirements and example occupation titles for selected not elsewhere classified occupations.
2021 Australian Update	2021	Revisions resulting from a review of selected occupations identified as emerging and/or related to agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; cyber security; naval ship building.
2022 Australian Update	2022	Revisions resulting from a review of selected occupations identified as emerging and/or related to construction-related trades occupations.

Coding information to ANZSCO occupations

Care needs to be taken when assigning occupation information to ANZSCO occupations because the same job titles can be used in different industries to describe different occupations (e.g. business analyst). Also, the titles used in ANZSCO are not an exhaustive list of all titles used to describe an occupation (e.g. brickie).

The minimum information required for coding responses in statistical collections to ANZSCO occupations is the occupation’s title and its tasks. The quality can be improved via use of other data items, such as industry of employment and employer information.

Further information on ANZSCO can be obtained from the ABS National Information and Referral Service (1300 135 070) or client.services@abs.gov.au or Stats NZ Information Centre on 0508 525 525 or info@stats.govt.nz.

Coding queries should be directed to standards@abs.gov.au or standards@stats.govt.nz.

Conceptual basis of ANZSCO

Scope of the Classification

The scope of ANZSCO is all occupations and jobs in the Australian and New Zealand labour markets undertaken for pay or profit, including jobs occupied by people working for themselves.

ANZSCO is not designed to cover work not undertaken for pay or profit, for example voluntary work. However, this does not preclude ANZSCO from describing such activities.

Occupations that are wholly illegal in New Zealand and all States and Territories of Australia are excluded.

Overview of ANZSCO structure

The structure of ANZSCO has five hierarchical levels - major group, sub-major group, minor group, unit group and occupation. The categories at the most detailed level of the classification are termed 'occupations'. These are grouped together to form 'unit groups', which in turn are grouped into 'minor groups'. Minor groups are aggregated to form 'sub-major groups' which in turn are aggregated at the highest level to form 'major groups'.

Conceptual model

ANZSCO is a skill-based classification used to classify all occupations and jobs in the Australian and New Zealand labour markets.

To do this, ANZSCO identifies a set of occupations covering all jobs in the Australian and New Zealand labour markets, defines these occupations according to their attributes and groups them on the basis of their similarity into successively broader categories for statistical and other types of analysis. The individual objects classified in ANZSCO are jobs.

In ANZSCO, occupations are organised into progressively larger groups on the basis of their similarities in terms of both skill level and skill specialisation.

The conceptual model adopted for ANZSCO uses a combination of skill level and skill specialisation as criteria to design major groups which are meaningful and useful for most purposes. The eight major groups are formed by grouping together sub-major groups using aspects of both skill level and skill specialisation. In designing the major groups, intuitive appeal and usefulness in both statistical and administrative applications were also important considerations.

The skill level criterion is applied as rigorously as possible at the second level of the classification, the sub-major group level, together with a finer application of skill specialisation than that applied at the major group level. Each sub-major group is made up of a number of minor groups.

Minor groups are distinguished from each other mainly on the basis of a finer application of skill specialisation than that applied at the sub-major group level. Within minor groups, unit groups are distinguished from each other on the basis of skill specialisation and, where necessary, skill level.

Within unit groups, the distinction between occupations relates to differences between tasks performed in occupations and in most unit groups all occupations are at one skill level.

The distinctions between the various levels of ANZSCO are summarised in the following paragraphs.

Major Group

Major groups are:

the broadest level of ANZSCO
formed using a combination of skill level and skill specialisation to create groups which are meaningful and useful for most (statistical and administrative) purposes.

Sub-Major Group

Sub-major groups are:

subdivisions of the major groups
distinguished from other sub-major groups in the same major group on the basis of skill level and a broad application of skill specialisation.

Minor Group

Minor groups are:

subdivisions of the sub-major groups
distinguished from other minor groups in the same sub-major group mainly on the basis of a less broad application of skill specialisation.

Unit Group

Unit groups are:

subdivisions of the minor groups
distinguished from other unit groups in the same minor group on the basis of a finer application of skill specialisation and, where necessary, skill level.

Occupation

Occupations are:

the most detailed level of ANZSCO
subdivisions of the unit groups
distinguished from other occupations in the same unit group on the basis of detailed skill specialisation and, occasionally, skill level
sets of jobs which involve the performance of a common set of tasks.

Underlying concepts

As noted in Conceptual model, the framework adopted for ANZSCO is based on the concepts of 'job' and 'occupation'. The concept of 'occupation' is based on the concepts of 'skill level' and 'skill specialisation'.

Understanding these concepts is fundamental to understanding ANZSCO. These concepts are defined in the following sections.

The concept of job

A 'job' is defined as a set of tasks designed to be performed by one person for an employer (including self-employment) in return for pay or profit. Individual persons are classified by occupation through their relationship to a past, present or future job.

Any particular job will typically involve an individual working for a particular employer and undertaking a particular set of tasks. People working for themselves are considered as having a job and belonging to the labour force.

The concept of occupation

The categories at the most detailed level of the ANZSCO structure are called 'occupations'. An 'occupation' is defined as a set of jobs that require the performance of similar or identical sets of tasks. As it is rare for two actual jobs to have identical sets of tasks, in practical terms, an 'occupation' is a set of jobs whose main tasks are characterised by a high degree of similarity.

The similarity of tasks is defined in ANZSCO as a function of the level and specialisation of skill required to perform those tasks. Skill is defined as the ability to competently perform the tasks associated with an occupation.

It follows that ANZSCO classifies occupations according to two criteria - skill level and skill specialisation.

The concept of skill level

Skill level is defined as a function of the range and complexity of the set of tasks performed in a particular occupation. The greater the range and complexity of the set of tasks, the greater the skill level of an occupation.

Skill level is measured operationally in ANZSCO by:

the level or amount of formal education and training
the amount of previous experience in a related occupation, and
the amount of on-the-job training

required to competently perform the set of tasks required for that occupation.

In general, the greater the range and complexity of the set of tasks involved, the greater the amount of formal education and training, previous experience and on-the-job training required to competently perform the set of tasks for that occupation.

Formal education and training refers to the level and amount of education and training required for competent performance of the tasks required in an occupation. It is measured in terms of educational qualifications as set out in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF).

Previous experience refers to the time spent gaining work experience in related occupations or activities required for the competent performance of the tasks in an occupation. It is measured in months or years.

On-the-job training refers to the amount of training required after commencing work in an occupation for competent performance of the tasks in that occupation. It is measured in months or years, and may be undertaken at the same time as formal training.

ANZSCO does not measure the skill level of an individual, rather it refers to the level of skill that is typically required to competently perform the tasks of a particular occupation. Skill level is an attribute of occupations, not of individuals in the labour force or of particular jobs. It is irrelevant whether a particular individual working in a job in a particular occupation has a certain amount of training or a particular level of competence or not.

For example, a person who spreads mortar and lays bricks for a living has the occupation Bricklayer, regardless of whether they are an exceptionally competent bricklayer with many years of experience and post-trade qualifications, or an inexperienced bricklayer with no formal qualifications and a low level of competence. The skill level of the occupation Bricklayer is determined on the basis of that typically required for competent performance.

ANZSCO assigns occupations to one of five skill levels. In determining the skill level of each occupation, advice was sought from employers, industry training bodies, professional organisations and others to ensure that the information is as accurate and meaningful as possible.

The determination of boundaries between skill levels is based on the following definitions.

Skill Level 1

Occupations at Skill Level 1 have a level of skill commensurate with a bachelor degree or higher qualification. At least five years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualification. In some instances, relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification.

Skill Level 2

Occupations at Skill Level 2 have a level of skill commensurate with one of the following:

NZQF Diploma or
AQF Associate Degree, Advanced Diploma or Diploma.

At least three years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualifications listed above. In some instances, relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification.

Skill Level 3

Occupations at Skill Level 3 have a level of skill commensurate with one of the following:

NZQF Level 4 qualification
AQF Certificate IV or
AQF Certificate III including at least two years of on-the-job training.

Skill Level 4

Occupations at Skill Level 4 have a level of skill commensurate with one of the following:

NZQF Level 2 or 3 qualification or
AQF Certificate II or III.

At least one year of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualifications listed above. In some instances, relevant experience may be required in addition to the formal qualification.

Skill Level 5

Occupations at Skill Level 5 have a level of skill commensurate with one of the following:

NZQF Level 1 qualification
AQF Certificate I or
compulsory secondary education.

For some occupations a short period of on-the-job training may be required in addition to or instead of the formal qualification.

In some instances, no formal qualification or on-the-job training may be required.

The concept of skill specialisation

Skill specialisation is defined as a function of:

field of knowledge required
tools and equipment used
materials worked on, and
goods or services produced or provided.

Field of knowledge required refers to the subject matter knowledge that is essential to competently perform the tasks of an occupation.

Tools and equipment used includes all forms of plant, machinery, computer-based equipment or hand tools used in the performance of the tasks, as well as intellectual tools such as personal interaction, and art or design techniques.

The term plant is used to describe mobile or stationary equipment which is large in size, performs several related functions, and is usually controlled by an internally located operator.
The term machinery is used to describe stationary equipment which is not as large as plant, performs one processing function and is usually controlled by an externally located operator.
The term hand tools is used to describe equipment which is small enough to be moved by one person.

Materials worked on refers to materials of both a tangible and abstract nature which are extracted, processed, transformed, refined or fabricated as an essential part of the tasks performed. Examples of materials worked on include wood, metal, livestock, accounting data, text, people and organisations.

Goods or services produced or provided refers to the end product of the performance of the tasks of an occupation including physical goods, personal or other services, or other products such as a software application or statistical information.

Employability skills

In developing the skill specialisation criteria for ANZSCO, employability skills were considered as a possible additional dimension of skill specialisation. There are two facets to employability skills, personal attributes such as loyalty, commitment and motivation, and generic skills, including communication, team-work and problem-solving. Employers are increasingly using employability skills in conjunction with technical or job-specific skills when assessing the suitability of an individual for a particular occupation. Since these employability skills are applicable to most occupations, it was decided not to include them as classification criteria for ANZSCO.

Design constraints

One of the primary purposes of a statistical classification is to provide a simplification of the real world, which is a useful framework for collecting and analysing data from both statistical and administrative collections. To achieve this end, there are a number of practical considerations which impinged on the design of ANZSCO.

Statistical balance

As a general principle, a classification used for the dissemination of statistics should not have categories at the same level in its hierarchy which are too disparate in their population size. That is, similar numbers of real-world entities should be classified to each category at a particular level. This approach is referred to as statistical balance, and serves to minimise large variations in standard errors and the suppression of cells in statistical tables at particular levels of the structure when using output from sample surveys. It also allows the classification to be used effectively for the cross-tabulation of aggregate data.

Categories which have been defined to reflect the real world, however, will not always be statistically balanced. To force categories to conform to size limitations would mean that the categories would not always be meaningful or useful.

In developing ANZSCO, a balance between these competing requirements was sought. The following minimum and maximum size guidelines were considered in designing the categories at each level of ANZSCO. For inclusion in ANZSCO, a category ideally fitted within the range listed below for either Australia or New Zealand.

	Australia	New Zealand
Major Group	500,000 to 1,500,000	100,000 to 300,000
Sub-Major Group	100,000 to 300,000	30,000 to 100,000
Minor Group	50,000 to 150,000	10,000 to 30,000
Unit Group	5,000 to 30,000	3,000 to 10,000
Occupation	300 to 10,000	100 to 5,000

Some exceptions, however, were made for occupations, or groups of occupations, of particular strategic or labour market significance.

Statistical feasibility

Another consideration affecting the design of ANZSCO was the statistical feasibility of the categories. That is, whether it is possible to accurately and consistently distinguish between the categories in the classification on the basis of responses to questions which can reasonably be asked in statistical collections such as population censuses and labour force surveys.

Relationship to other occupation classifications

Comparability with ISCO

The International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO) was developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO). ISCO was first issued in 1958 and revised versions were produced in 1968, 1988 and 2008. The main aims of ISCO are to provide a basis for international comparisons of occupation statistics between member countries and to provide a conceptual model for the development of national occupation classifications.

The current edition, ISCO-08, uses skill level and skill specialisation as criteria in the conceptual framework for the classification. Four broad skill levels are used, defined in terms of the educational categories and levels that appear in the International Standard Classification of Education 1976, published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Comparison between ANZSCO and ISCO

The following table indicates the number of categories at each level of ANZSCO and ISCO.

Hierarchical Level	ANZSCO 2022 Australian Update	ISCO-08
Major Group	8	10
Sub-Major Group	43	43
Minor Group	99	130
Unit Group	364	436
Occupation	1 076	-

The occupation level is not defined in ISCO-08 as it is expected that individual countries will develop this level of detail to suit their requirements.

The following table compares the major group titles for ANZSCO and ISCO-08. Note that this table does not provide a correspondence between the two classifications.

ANZSCO	ISCO-08
1 Managers	1 Managers
2 Professionals	2 Professionals
3 Technicians and Trades Workers	3 Technicians and Associate Professionals
4 Community and Personal Service Workers	4 Clerical Support Workers
5 Clerical and Administrative Workers	5 Services and Sales Workers
6 Sales Workers	6 Skilled Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Workers
7 Machinery Operators and Drivers	7 Craft and Related Trades Workers
8 Labourers	8 Plant and Machine Operators and Assemblers
	9 Elementary Occupations
	0 Armed Forces Occupations

The ten major groups in ISCO-08 are broadly similar to the eight ANZSCO major groups. The most significant differences at major group level are:

ISCO-08 identifies Skilled Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Workers as a separate major group (Major Group 6). ANZSCO includes Farmers and Farm Managers as a sub-major group in Major Group 1 Managers; Skilled Animal, Agricultural and Horticultural Workers as a sub-major group in Major Group 3 Technicians and Trades Workers; and Farm, Forestry and Garden Workers as a sub-major group in Major Group 8 Labourers.

ISCO-08 Major Group 3 Technicians and Associate Professionals has no equivalent in ANZSCO.

A major group of Community and Personal Service Workers has been introduced for ANZSCO and has no equivalent in ISCO-08.

In ISCO-08, jobs held by members of the armed forces are included in Major Group 0 Armed Forces. In ANZSCO, jobs held by members of the armed forces are classified with their civilian equivalents, where these exist, or to a number of defence force specific occupations.

Classification structure

Profile and summary of ANZSCO structure

The following is a profile of the ANZSCO structure with hierarchy descriptions and examples. The complete listing of the major, sub-major, minor and unit groups and occupations can be found under the Browse Classification section.

Descriptions of the five hierarchical levels of the classification's structure are summarised between diagrams showing two examples. Major Groups are the broadest level of ANZSCO denoted by 1-digit codes, and are formed using a combination of skill level and skill specialisation to create groups which are meaningful and useful for most purposes. There are 8 Major Groups in ANZSCO. Sub-Major Groups are subdivisions of the major groups and are denoted by 2-digit codes (the relevant major group code plus an additional digit). They are distinguished from other sub-major groups in the same major group on the basis of skill level and a broad application of skill specialisation. There are 43 Sub-Major Groups. Minor Groups are subdivisions of the sub-major groups and are denoted by 3-digit codes (the relevant sub-major group code plus an additional digit). They are distinguished from other minor groups in the same sub-major group mainly on the basis of a less broad application of skill specialisation. There are 99 Minor Groups. Unit Groups are subdivisions of the minor groups and are denoted by 4-digit codes (the relevant minor group code plus an additional digit). They are distinguished from other unit groups in the same minor group mainly on the basis of a finer application of skill specialisation and, where necessary, skill level. There are 364 Unit Groups. Occupations are subdivisions of the unit groups and are denoted by 6-digit codes (the relevant unit group code plus an additional two digits). They are distinguished from other occupations in the same unit group mainly on the basis of detailed skill specialisation. Occupations are sets of jobs which involve the performance of a common set of tasks. There are 1,076 Occupations. The first of two examples of the classification's hierarchical structure commences with 'Major Group 3 Technicians and Trades Workers' at the top. Below Major Group 3, in descending order are 'Sub-Major Group 32 Automotive and Engineering Trades Workers', 'Minor Group 321 Automotive Electricians and Mechanics', 'Unit Group 3211 Automotive Electricians' finishing with the 'Occupation 321111 Automotive Electrician'. The second example commences with the 'Sub-Major Group 33 Construction Trades Workers' at the top. Below Sub-Major Group 33, in descending order are 'Minor Group 331 Bricklayers, and Carpenters and Joiners', 'Unit Group 3311 Bricklayers and Stonemasons' finishing with the 'Occupation 331111 Bricklayer'.

Each major group comprises a different number of sub-major, minor and unit groups and occupations. The following table illustrates the distribution of these categories between the major groups.

Major Group	Sub-Major Groups	Minor Groups	Unit Groups	Occupations
1 Managers	4	11	39	103
2 Professionals	7	23	99	334
3 Technicians and Trades Workers	7	22	70	205
4 Community and Personal Service Workers	5	9	36	105
5 Clerical and Administrative Workers	7	12	33	80
6 Sales Workers	3	5	19	37
7 Machinery Operators and Drivers	4	7	22	77
8 Labourers	6	10	46	135

Standard code scheme

One, two, three, four and six-digit codes are assigned to the major, sub-major, minor and unit groups, and occupations respectively.

Within each major group, the sub-major groups are ordered firstly by skill level and then alphabetically. Note: the various updates to ANZSCO have disrupted this practice as new occupations and unit groups have been assigned the next available code in the respective unit group or minor group. Residual 'other' sub-major groups are listed last. Sub-major groups comprising occupations at multiple skill levels have been ordered firstly on the basis of their highest predominant skill level, then alphabetically.

Within each sub-major group, the minor groups are ordered alphabetically, with the exception of residual 'miscellaneous' minor groups which are listed last. Similarly, within each minor group, the unit groups are ordered alphabetically, with the exception of the residual 'other' unit groups which are listed last.

The occupations within each unit group are essentially in alphabetical order, with the exception of 'general' occupations which are listed first, and residual 'not elsewhere classified' (nec) categories which are listed last. This ordering is more expedient than necessary and it is not considered that the addition of any new occupations, which may disrupt this ordering, will affect the usefulness of the classification.

The occupational profile of Australia and New Zealand is likely to change over time due to factors such as technological change and changes in the industrial profile of Australia and New Zealand. Therefore, from time to time, it may be necessary to add or delete occupations from the list of occupations separately identified in ANZSCO.

If it becomes necessary to identify an additional unit group or occupation, it will be allocated the next available four or six-digit code in the numerical sequence of codes of the minor or unit group to which it is being added. Similarly, if a unit group or occupation ceases to have sufficient numbers of persons employed to justify it continuing to be separately identified in the classification and it is consequently deleted from the classification, its code would not be reallocated as this would be likely to cause confusion with time series data.

It should be noted that the separately identified occupations are not allocated codes ending with the digits '0' or '9'. These are special purpose codes used to denote supplementary or operational (not further defined) codes in the case of '0' and residual (not elsewhere classified) categories in the case of '9' (see Supplementary or operational codes and Codes reserved for residual categories).

The ANZSCO code scheme is devised so that any future changes to the classification structure can be easily accommodated. However, in order that the classification remains a standard, users should not make arbitrary changes to the structure. Rather, they should contact the ABS or Statistics NZ and identify any apparent problems they encounter in the course of implementation, data collection or data analysis. ANZSCO will be revised at a suitable time so that all users continue to use the standard classification.

Codes reserved for residual categories

For each unit group of the classification structure, a six-digit code, consisting of the four digits of the unit group followed by the digits '99', is reserved as a residual 'not elsewhere classified' (nec) category. All occupations which are not separately identified in the classification structure are included in the 'nec' category of the unit group to which they relate. Residual categories are only identified in the classification structure if they are needed. ANZSCO currently identifies 84 'nec' categories.

The decision to include particular occupations in an 'nec' category rather than as substantive categories is based on their lack of numerical significance in Australia or New Zealand.

For each minor group, codes are reserved for residual categories at the unit group level. These codes consist of the minor group code followed by '9'. These categories are termed 'Other' and consist of separately identified occupations which do not fit into any of the unit groups contained within the minor group, on the basis of the classification criteria. The classification contains 22 'other' categories at the unit group level.

For each sub-major group, codes are also reserved for residual categories at the minor group level. These codes consist of the sub-major group code followed by '9'. These categories are termed 'Miscellaneous' and consist of separately identified unit groups which do not fit into any of the minor groups contained within the sub-major group, on the basis of the classification criteria. The classification contains eight 'miscellaneous' categories at the minor group level.

For each major group, codes are reserved for residual categories at the sub-major group level. These codes consist of the major group code followed by '9'. These categories are termed 'Other' and consist of separately identified minor groups which do not fit into any of the sub-major groups contained within the major group, on the basis of the classification criteria. The classification contains three 'other' categories at the sub-major group level.

Residual categories are part of the ANZSCO structure. They should not be created or used merely to 'dump' responses that cannot be coded to any separately identified category in the classification because of insufficient detail in the response. See Supplementary or operational codes.

Supplementary or operational codes

Supplementary or operational codes are used in statistical collections to process inadequately described responses or for responses which are outside of the scope of the classification.

In Australia, these codes are of two types:

six digit codes ending in two, three, four or five zeros; and
six digit codes commencing with one zero.

Codes ending in zero are described as 'not further defined' (nfd) codes and are used to code responses which cannot be coded to the occupation level of the classification, but which can be coded to a higher level of the classification structure.

For example, responses which cannot be identified as relating directly to a particular occupation category, but which are known to be within the range of occupations within a particular unit group are coded to that unit group. Such responses are allocated an nfd code consisting of the four-digit code of the unit group followed by '00'. For instance, the response 'Internal Medicine Specialist' does not contain sufficient information to be coded directly to any particular occupation category, but it can be coded to Unit Group 2533 Specialist Physicians, which encompasses all internal medicine specialists. It is thus allocated the code 253300 Specialist Physicians, nfd.

Codes commencing with zero are used to process responses which do not provide sufficient information to be coded to any level of the structure. They are also used to process responses such as 'housewife', 'pensioner' and 'student', which are not covered by the current definition of the labour force (see Standards for Labour Force Statistics, ABS cat. no. 1288.0). The standard set of such codes used in the ANZSCO Coding Index is available on request from the ABS.

Other codes commencing with zero may be defined by users to facilitate the processing and storage of data, when data sets coded to ANZSCO contain records for entities outside the scope of ANZSCO. For example, occupational activities which are wholly illegal in New Zealand and all States and Territories of Australia are excluded from ANZSCO.

In New Zealand, codes commencing with the digits '99' are used as supplementary or operational codes.

The code '997000' is used for legitimate/valid responses, such as 'public servant', which cannot be coded to any single occupation category because there is insufficient supporting information to accurately code to a specific category. This code is called 'Response Unidentifiable'.
The code '999000' is used for responses, such as 'housewife', 'pensioner' or 'student', which are not covered by the current definition of the labour force. This code is called 'Response Outside Scope'.
The code '999999' is used for non-response. This code is called 'Not Stated'.

It should be noted that supplementary or operational codes are not part of the classification structure. They exist for operational reasons only, and no data would be coded to them if sufficiently detailed responses or responses within the scope of the classification were obtained in all instances.

Explanatory notes

The detailed structure of ANZSCO at each descending level of the classification can be found under the Data downloads section. This also shows the relationship between the groups and skill level.

The first three tables (Major Groups, Sub-Major Groups and Minor Groups) show the predominant skill levels applying to each group.

In the next two tables (Unit Groups and Occupations), all skill levels applying to each group are shown.

A definitive list of all skill levels applying to each group in the classification is found in the definition for that group. See Definitions.

Definitions

Interpreting ANZSCO occupation definitions

ANZSCO occupation definitions are based on the skill level and specialisation usually necessary to perform the tasks of the specific occupation, or of most occupations in the group. The definitions and skill level statements apply to the occupation and not persons working in the occupation. The allocation of a particular occupation to a particular skill level should be seen as indicative only and should not be used prescriptively.

The definitional material describing each occupation is intended primarily as an aid to interpreting occupation statistics classified to ANZSCO. The descriptions are, therefore, only a guide to the tasks undertaken and skills involved in various occupations and are not a definitive statement of what is required.

Format of the definitions

This classification contains definitions for all major, sub-major, minor and unit groups, and occupations. The format of the definitions may vary slightly between the hierarchical levels, but all contain similar elements.

Major, sub-major, minor and unit group definitions

The elements of major, sub-major, minor and unit group definitions are as follows:

Main heading - consists of the level in the ANZSCO hierarchy (e.g. minor group), the code, and the title of the group in that order.
Lead statement - describes the main activities undertaken in the group and, indirectly, the group's boundaries.
Inclusion and exclusion statements - are included only where necessary to avoid potential for confusion and to clarify the scope of the group.
Task list - a representative list of the principal or indicative tasks undertaken in the group. Because of the disparate nature of the occupations contained in 'miscellaneous' and 'other' groups, no task lists are provided for these groups.
Skill level statement - specifies the requirements for competent performance of occupations in the group, expressed in terms of the amount of formal education and training, previous experience and on-the-job training. Any special requirements, such as registration or licensing, are indicated in this statement.
List of lower categories - lists the categories (code and title) in the hierarchical level immediately below the group being defined.

Occupation definitions

The elements of occupation definitions are as follows:

Code - the numerical representation of the occupation.
Principal title - the title which best describes the particular occupation. It is generally the most commonly used title, although there are exceptions in cases where the most commonly used title is too broad or too narrow in meaning for the purposes of the ANZSCO occupation, or where occupations of different content are usually known by the same title.
Alternative title - any commonly used alternative title (or titles) for the occupation. These alternative titles have the same meaning as the principal title but may be less commonly used.
Lead statement - describes the nature of the occupation, summarising the main activities undertaken and, indirectly, the occupation's boundaries. Any special requirements, such as registration or licensing, are indicated in this statement.
Skill level - the number equating to the ANZSCO skill level of the occupation.
Specialisation titles - any commonly used titles which refer to a subset of jobs belonging to the occupation designated in the principal title. These jobs involve the performance of specialised tasks rather than the broader range of tasks usually performed in the occupation.
