When is this ANZSCO code still relevant?
OSCA 2024 replaced ANZSCO as Australia's current occupation classification. Keep using this ANZSCO record when a migration list, assessment body, historical dataset or form explicitly requests ANZSCO.
Do not assume that an OSCA code can be substituted one-for-one. The official correspondence may be exact, partial, split or many-to-one, so open every linked OSCA record before changing systems.

Role overview
