About anzsco.com.au
Independent reference for the 590 ANZSCO occupation codes used in Australian skilled migration.
What is anzsco.com.au?
anzsco.com.au is a free, continuously updated reference covering all 590 ANZSCO occupation codes relevant to Australian skilled migration. For each occupation you can see which federal visa subclasses it qualifies for (189, 190, 491, 482, and more), which of the 8 state and territory nomination programs are currently open, and how it maps to the new OSCA classification system that is progressively replacing ANZSCO.
The site also surfaces SkillSelect invitation rounds — historical cutoff points, invitation counts, and pool sizes — so you can gauge where a given occupation has been trending. Data from the Department of Home Affairs, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and each state migration office is reviewed regularly and cross-referenced against 7 federal visa pathways and 8 state/territory nomination programs. Update notices appear on the Updates page whenever rules, fees, or occupation lists change.
Information only — not migration advice
Everything on anzsco.com.au is general information. It does not constitute migration advice, legal advice, or a recommendation about any particular visa or nomination pathway.
Australian visa law is complex and changes frequently. Your eligibility depends on individual circumstances — age, English proficiency, skills assessment outcomes, state nomination availability, and Minister of Immigration priority directions that can shift without notice.
For advice specific to your situation, consult a registered MARA agent (Migration Agents Registration Authority). Only registered agents are permitted to give migration advice in Australia for a fee.

How fresh is the data?
Each page carries a Last reviewedbadge showing when the editorial team last verified that page's government-sourced data against live sources. This is independent of the site deploy timestamp shown in the footer.
The automated data pipeline runs on the cadence documented in the internal Anzsco-Refresh-Config wiki page. SkillSelect round data is ingested within 24 hours of DHA publication. Fee changes, Ministerial Direction updates, and occupation list amendments trigger a priority review cycle.
