Australia and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and Assessing Authorities

ANZSCO is a system developed to collect, publish, and analyse occupation statistics across government agencies – including information for all visa, settlement, and citizenship programs.

Migration Queensland uses ANZSCO to assess whether applicants have the skills needed to undertake a specific occupation.

The relevant Assessing Authority for ANZSCO is listed against each occupation in the Legislative Instrument (LIN 19/051).

For more information, see List of Assessing Authorities and the Department of Home Affairs website.
