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 it within the skilled visa program to assess whether a visa applicant has 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).
Below is a list of the abbreviations for the Assessing Authorities. For more information, see the Department of Home Affairs website.
