The ANZSCO 2022 Dictionary is an Australian Update and reflects a review of occupations associated with the following 2 areas:
These areas are based on priority areas for the Australian labor market and were chosen to test a new approach to updating this classification. This update represents the first incremental step of a larger program of work to update this classification. Other priority areas are expected to be addressed in future regular updates of the ANZSCO.
This update has been undertaken in respect of the Australian labour market only. It has not considered changes in the New Zealand labour market.
