ANZSCO Occupation Codes for Australian Migration

The first website, Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship, contains the eligibility requirements for each occupation on their Australian Skills Recognition Information (ASRI) page. Besides the occupation eligibility requirements, the assessing authority, skilled occupation points, skilled occupation list (SOL), and consolidated sponsored occupation list (CSOL) are also provided on this web page.

For further details about typical tasks and occupation codes for Australian migration, you can refer to ACACIA Immigration Australia. The ANZSCO occupation codes generally define all the requirements of basic engineering disciplines including electrical, mechanical, chemical, architecture, civil and others, while some industry type jobs like transport engineering, water engineering, power engineering and railway engineering are also discussed in the ANZSCO occupation codes.

If your occupation does not generally fall in the ANZSCO occupation classification, then you need to categorize your occupation based on your engineering skill. Like if someone is involved in rolling and managing the stock of the industry, then his occupation might fall under the mechanical engineering category. Similarly if someone has to deal with designing of tracks and pathways, then his occupation falls under the civil engineering category.

It is important to go through the ANZSCO occupation code description relevant to your job, so that you are able to select the right occupation category for your job. This approach will assist you in improving your skills assessment and migration visa application.

Below we briefly describe the ANZSCO codes and their descriptions for general engineering disciplines for reference:
