ANZSCO Transitional Arrangements

[George Lombard]

DIAC has finally announced how the transitional arrangements are going to work, see Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO)

This is critical news for people holding current skills assessments or current state sponsorships and who are yet to lodge a general skilled migration visa application.

Cheers,

George Lombard

Hey all,

Well I've read all the different sections, and I might be completely being stupid and missing it somewhere but, I can't seem to find, if we as applicants and have corresponding job titles, need to change our codes ourselves or if they will? Or do they just process pre July 2010 visas under old codes? Surely if there is a exact matching job, but with a new number, you don't need to be re-assessed. Sorry in advance if this is somewhere on there in BOLD!! :)

Hello George

Could you please answer my question?? This list seems to be encouraging, but it raises no. of questions especially about these code and title changes of occupations!!!

My OH is Counsellor (nec) which i got through ASCO as per this list, is it equivalent to Psychotherapist??? I am going to apply for visa on 1st July and a couple of week back I got my WA SS for Counsellor, now i am confused to which OH i should nominate??? Counsellor or Psychotherapist, and do i need to wait for WA SMP to apply for visa subclass 475, can I proceed further on 1st July...

Your suggestions greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Thanks for this George.

I have a question for the PIO community..

I have a +ve skills assessment for 2231-11 Systems Manager, which correlates to 262113 Systems Administrator which is not on the SOL. I have had a 176 fam sponsored application in since March 2009, so currently cat6ii. I was planning on getting state sposnorship but told by QLD to wait for 1st July announcements.

However my current job title is Senior Systems Analyst. 261112 Systems Analyst is on the SOL !

Should I get a new ACS assessment and try to get QLD sponsor or what ? What a mess !

Am I right in saying that under DIAC transition arrangement SKill assessment for ASCO 2211-11( Accountant) is valid for ANZCO 221111( Accountant General) and 221112( Managment Accountant)

I am member of CPA - AUSTRALIA and CIMA-UK and planning to apply after July 1.

dooodi.
Yes, this correlates directly. In fact the code doesnt even change. So you are on the new SOL !

A4Ron - thanks for posting this question. As coincidence would have it. I'm in exactly the same boat as you! My application has been in since Oct 09 and eagerly waiting the WA SMP.

[A4Ron]

skipling, that is a coincidence ! Are you on the same ASCO code ?

[skipling]

LOL yep. Same code, same job!

i am really confused about this.

I have a skills assessment as engineering Professional NEC - Environmental engineer.

But looking at the ANZSCO codes, environmental engineers should be chemical engineers... I donīt understand...If my ASCo code is not from chemical engineer, I wonīt be able to convert it to Environmental engineer?
