ANZSCO - Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations

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.
