“This is the first edition of the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA). OSCA replaces the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) for use in Australia.”
“The Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA) is a standardised framework for storing, organising and reporting occupation-related information. It has been established by the ABS through a comprehensive review of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) conducted between July 2022 and December 2024. OSCA replaces ANZSCO in Australia.”
“The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is a system used by the Department of Home Affairs to classify and list occupations for various visa programs. This classification helps determine the skill level, qualifications, and experience required for different jobs.
The ANZSCO codes are used in the skilled occupation lists for visas such as:
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa (subclass 186)
Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482)
Skills in Demand (SID) Visa
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 491)”
