ANZSCO guidance

The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) page on the Immigration New Zealand website has been updated.  It now contains a more detailed description of how customers and other stakeholders can search the ANZSCO to find the most relevant occupation. 

The updated information provides guidance on how to match an occupation to one that appears on the ANZSCO and for customers to focus on selecting the ‘best match’ - the ANZSCO occupation that is most similar to the job description being included as part of the visa application. 

Action
Please discuss this with your team(s), particularly those that process Skilled Migrant Category resident visa applications and Essential Skills work visa applications and ensure that they are familiar with the update on the website.
