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.

Prison Officer is listed in the ANZSCO hierarchy as a legacy occupation record.
Use this page when a system, migration file, archive or historic occupation reference still points to ANZSCO rather than OSCA. The hierarchy, related occupations and industry context help confirm whether the legacy code still matches the intended role.

Practical guidance
