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.
The points test gates the 189, 190 and 491 skilled visas. You need at least 65 points to be invited — but the real cut-off runs higher. Here is what counts.
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.
New Zealand has two main skilled routes to residence: the points-based Skilled Migrant Category and the occupation-based Green List. Which fits your code?
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.
Where Australia's skilled occupation lists stand in 2026: the CSOL still drives the Skills in Demand 482 visa, and both income thresholds index upward on 1 July 2026.
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.
A skills assessment is mandatory for most skilled visas, but not all. Here is how the requirement is structured and where narrow exemptions sit — confirm yours officially.
