ASCO to ANZSCO Code

[asereht01]

The New Zealand migration system already uses the ANZSCO code in nominating a skilled occupation eversince. If DIAC will use the latest ANZSCO as a reference, the link below will guide us to determine the corresponding ANZSCO code of our nominated occupation which is still under the ASCO

1220.0 - ANZSCO - Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations, First Edition, Revision 1

The question is , since our occupation has now a different code do we need to undergo a re-assessment according to the new ANZSCO?
ANZSCO has a broad range of occupation however DIAC only chose about 1/4 of it for the newlist of Skilled occupations. I just hope that the states would consider including all other occupations on their SMP.

My nominated occupation is Life scientist with ASCO code of 2113-79 . However in ANSZCO code Life scientist is a unit group of occupation (2345 Life Scientist )which has several occupations under it
234511 Life Scientist (General)
234512 Anatomist or Physiologist
234513 Biochemist
234514 Biotechnologist
234515 Botanist
234516 Marine Biologist
234517 Microbiologist
234518 Zoologist
234599 Life Scientists nec

I wonder how DIAC would handle the lodged assessment considering that occupation codes were changed also

Just confused

ANZSCO won't apply to existing visa applications.
