Frequently asked questions
What do I open first if I only know the business type?
Open the broad division that best matches the activity, then narrow to subdivision and group. If you already know the likely class, search the code or open the class page directly.
Why does the class page matter more than the division page?
Division pages are useful for orientation, but the class page is the level that contains the precise description, primary activities and exclusions used in real classification work.
Where do I check migration from ANZSIC 1993?
Use the migration lookup linked from this page. It is the quickest way to bridge older ANZSIC references to the 2006 revision.

This hub is an independent browsing layer on top of the ABS classification structure. It is designed to make the hierarchy easier to scan without replacing the official release.
Please verify critical classification decisions with the official authority before using them for tax, payroll, licensing, immigration or compliance work.
Source-backed pages
Class-level detail
Each class page carries the official title, a practical explanation, primary activities, exclusions and crosswalks.
Migration support
1993 to 2006 bridge
The migration lookup helps with legacy references and old data systems that still point to older ANZSIC labels.
How to use this hub
Start with the division that matches the broad business family, then narrow through subdivision and group until you reach the class level. That is the point where the code becomes specific enough for practical classification work.
The page is built for fast scanning: the hierarchy comes first, the source context comes second, and the detailed class pages are one click away.
Source and scope
This hub is derived from ABS ANZSIC 2006 (Revision 2.0) data and the related classification pages. It is an independent reference layer designed for easier browsing and cross-linking.
For official wording, use the ABS release page. For the exact class descriptions, open the class-level pages inside this site.
