Effective on 1 July 2010, The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) will become the new standard used by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) to assess information about occupations in all immigration and citizenship matters, replacing the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) which was previously used.
The ANZSCO and ASCO codes differ in terms of occupation codes and job descriptions across a variety of occupations.
Any application received on or after 1 July 2010 will be assessed by DIAC using the ANZSCO code.
