ABS Cat. no. 1220.0 ANZSCO -- Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations, Version 1.2
Released at 11.30am (Canberra time) 26 June 2013
Explanatory Notes

Introduction
1. This index lists occupation titles (principal titles, alternative titles, specialisations and titles of occupations included in not elsewhere classified (nec) categories) used in the
Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) Version 1.2, together with the relevant occupation (6-digit) code.
2. The principal title is the title which best describes the particular occupation. It is generally the most commonly used title, although there are exceptions in cases where the most
commonly used title is too broad or too narrow in meaning for the purposes of the ANZSCO occupation, or where occupations of different content are usually known by the same title.
Principal titles are denoted by a (P) following the index entry.
3. Alternative titles are any commonly used alternative title (or titles) for the occupation. These alternative titles have the same meaning as the principal title but may be less
commonly used. Alternative titles are denoted by an (A) following the index entry.
4. Specialisation titles are any commonly used titles which refer to a subset of jobs belonging to the occupation designated in the principal title. These jobs involve the performance
of specialised tasks rather than the broader range of tasks usually performed in the occupation. Specialisations are denoted by an (S) following the index entry.
5. Not elsewhere classified (nec) categories are used for known, discrete occupations which are not separately identified in ANZSCO Version 1.2 because of their lack of numerical
significance in Australia or New Zealand. The occupation titles listed under nec categories are illustrative of the scope and range of occupations included in the nec category. Titles
relating to occupations which are included in nec categories are denoted by an (N) following the index entry.
6. The titles used in ANZSCO Version 1.2 are intended to convey the clearest possible idea of the nature of the particular occupation. However, in some instances, the same job
titles are used by different industries to describe different occupations (e.g. business analyst). This index is also not an exhaustive list of all titles used by people to describe an
occupation (e.g. brickie).
7. Users wanting to assign ANZSCO Version 1.2 codes to occupation information are advised to use the relevant computer coding systems developed by the Australian Bureau of
Statistics and Statistics New Zealand.
