Episode Summary:
In today’s episode, we will learn about the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA), a standardised framework for storing, organising and reporting occupation-related information, and how it relates to ANZSCO.
Currently, the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is used as the tool to define the occupations that feature on The Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) for skilled migration. This will not be impacted after OSCA’s release on 6 December.
Both Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Statistics NZ (Stats NZ) have been joint custodians of ANZSCO since it was first published in 2006. Both government statisticians have now agreed to introduce their own tailored occupational statistical classifications.
This localized adaptation will allow each government agency to maintain separate but aligned classifications to better reflect the current labour market and meet stakeholder needs.
Have a listen if you want to hear Amitava compare and contrast OSCA with ANZSCO.
