What is ANZSCO?
ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) is a skill-based classification practised in Australia and New Zealand to categorise all occupationsIt is a hierarchical classification system that categorises occupations according to 1 of 8 major groups. These major groups are then further divided into smaller categories: sub-major groups, minor groups, and unit groups, leading to the specific occupation.
Each occupation in ANZSCO is defined by its primary tasks. Some of these ANZSCO have alternate titles as well as specialisations for the occupation. Each occupation is also assigned a skill level based on the complexity of the tasks undertaken in their occupation. There are 5 broad skill levels used to categorise the ANZSCO occupations.
Here’s a table indicating the skill levels attributed to the 8 major occupation groups in ANZSCO:

asked questions
Have a look at frequently asked questions.
Can I update my ANZSCO nomination if my application is in process?
Once you submit your application the assessment process will commence, therefore it will NOT be possible to update your suggested ANZSCO code(s).
How does ACS assess IT skills against ANZSCO codes?
ACS will assess if your educational qualifications and/or work experience are at a professional ICT level and closely related to the nominated occupation (ANZSCO) for migration purposes.
An ACS Assessor will review which ICT units are considered closely related to your nominated occupation. Once your qualification(s) have been assessed as outlined above, the assessor will then determine the amount of relevant work experience required to meet the suitability criteria.
Can I get an ACS skills assessment in more than one occupation?
Yes, The new ACS Migration Skills Assessment system allows you to apply for up to three ANZSCO codes at once. However make sure to satisfy the requirements for each of the occupation you apply for and ensure no contradiction among the occupations.
How do I know if I meet the criteria for a specific ANZSCO code?
Each ANZSCO code above leads to a separate page with detailed criteria such as required qualifications, experience, and skills. You can compare your own experience and qualifications with these criteria to determine if you meet the requirements.
I'm still confused about the right ANZSCO for me, what should I do?
You can reach us for free consultation. Our experienced agents will look through your qualification and work experience to suggest you the most relevant ANZSCO.
