Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations

Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is the skill-based classification system used to categorise occupations in the Australian and New Zealand labour markets. ANZSCO provides a basis for the standardised collection, analysis and dissemination of occupation data. Visit the ABS website to learn how ANZSCO works. Jobs and Skills Australia displays data for occupations that are defined by ANZSCO 2013 Version 1.3.

Occupation data

Important note

These data (on an ANZSCO basis) will not be updated again. The ANZSCO‑based occupation pages and download file will remain available but will no longer receive updates.

The ABS has temporarily suspend publishing Labour Force Survey occupation data while they make changes to the way they conduct the survey.

When they recommence publishing occupation data it will be based on the new Occupation Standard Classification of Australia (OSCA) basis.

JSA will release new OSCA‑based occupation profiles in mid‑2026. For more detail on this modernisation program see ABS LFS modernisation:

Employed

This is the number of people employed in an occupation as their main job.

Sources:

ANZSCO 4-digit occupations: ABS, Labour Force Survey, Detailed, February 2026, Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) trend data.
ANZSCO 6-digit occupations: ABS, 2021 Census of Population and Housing based on place of usual residence.
Data for Senior Non-Commissioned Defence Force Officers (1392) and Defence Force Members - Other Ranks (4411): ABS, 2021 Census of Population and Housing based on place of usual residence.

Please note ANZSCO 6-digit figures do not sum to match the total for their 4-digit parent as the figures come from different sources.

Part–time share

This is the proportion of people employed in an occupation who work part-time (those who usually work less than 35 hours a week) in all their jobs combined.

Sources:

ANZSCO 4–digit occupations: ABS, Labour Force Survey, 2025, four-quarter average data, customised report.
ANZSCO 6-digit occupations: ABS, 2021 Census of Population and Housing based on place of usual residence. Note: those who were classified as 'Employed, away from work' at the time of the 2021 Census (accounting for approx. 8% of total employment), have been excluded from the denominator.
Data for Senior Non-Commissioned Defence Force Officers (1392) and Defence Force Members - Other Ranks (4411): ABS, 2021 Census of Population and Housing based on place of usual residence.

Please note data for some ANZSCO 4-digit occupations has been suppressed due to inherent volatility associated with small Labour Force Survey estimates.

Please note data for ANZSCO 6-digit occupations with less than 50 people employed have been suppressed to protect confidentiality and prevent identification of individuals.

Female share

This is the proportion of people employed in an occupation who are female.

Median weekly earnings

Source: ABS Survey of Employee Earnings and Hours, May 2025, customised report.

This is the median pay for full–time non–managerial employees paid at the adult rate before tax and salary sacrificed amounts. The full–time non–managerial employees paid at the adult rate population has been used because it excludes people paid unusually high or low amounts (for example managers, part–time employees and youths). This allows for more accurate comparison between occupations. These figures are a guide only and should not be used to determine a wage rate as they do not take into account years of experience or other factors may influence a person’s wage.

Please note median weekly earnings figures are not produced for the following occupations:

ANZSCO 6–digit occupations.
Senior Non-Commissioned Defence Force Officers (1392) and Defence Force Members - Other Ranks (4411).
ANZSCO 4–digit occupations where there is a relative standard error of 25% or higher.

Median age

This is the median age of all workers in an occupation.

Sources:

ANZSCO 4–digit occupations: ABS, Labour Force Survey, 2025, four-quarter average data, customised report.
ANZSCO 6-digit occupations: ABS, 2021 Census of Population and Housing based on place of usual residence.

Annual employment growth

This is the change in total employment over the past year.

Please note annual employment growth figures are not produced for the following occupations:

ANZSCO 6–digit occupations.

Why aren’t OSCA data being used?

As our occupation profiles are based on the ABS Labour Force Survey and Census data, we are reliant on the ABS releasing these coded to OSCA. It is our understanding that ABS will commence using the OSCA classification for Labour Force Survey data in 2026.
