An ANZSCO code is the six-digit number that identifies your occupation in Australia and New Zealand's skilled-migration system. Here's how it's built — and how to find yours.
Three specialist authorities own the ICT, engineering and accounting codes: ACS, Engineers Australia, and CPA Australia / CA ANZ. Here is which one assesses yours.
There is no single 'disability support worker' ANZSCO code. The role splits between 423313 and 411712 — different skill levels, lists, and authorities.
Your ANZSCO code, not your job title, decides which skilled subclasses are open to you. Three questions sort 189, 190, 491, 482 and 186 from the code outward.
OSCA is the ABS statistical successor to ANZSCO, released December 2024. But Australian skilled migration still runs on ANZSCO in 2026. Here is what changes and what doesn't.
OSCA is the ABS successor to ANZSCO, released December 2024. Here is how to find the OSCA code for a job title — and why migration still uses ANZSCO.
OSCA keeps the 1–5 skill-level idea but reworks which occupations sit where. Here is what the ABS actually changed, and why migration still reads ANZSCO.
What a skills assessment costs and how long it takes depends on the authority for your ANZSCO code. A rough comparison across the six biggest, for budgeting.
The 190 and 491 visas need state nomination, and each state publishes its own occupation list. The same ANZSCO code can be open in one state and absent in another.
The Skills in Demand 482 visa has two streams. Which one your occupation can use is decided by CSOL membership and your ANZSCO major group — not by your choice.
Trades Recognition Australia assesses Major Group 3 trade occupations for migration. Which codes route to TRA, the JRP and OSAP pathways, and the VETASSESS line.
