ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) is a skill-based classification used to classify all occupations and jobs in the Australian and New Zealand labour markets.
ANZSCO is relevant within some skilled visa programs, where having a nominated skilled occupation is required for visa eligibility.
The catalogue was recently updated to version 2021 on 23 November 2021 with changes in the following areas:
- agriculture, forestry and fisheries
- cyber security
- naval ship building, and
- emerging occupations identified by the National Skills Commission
