The Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA), is now available. OSCA replaces ANZSCO for use in Australia.

In New Zealand, the National Occupation List (NOL), has been released by Stats NZ.

This concludes the Updating ANZSCO comprehensive review. 

Coming Up

The ABS is committed to regular updates of OSCA and is developing a plan for ongoing feedback.
