What is the New Zealand National Occupation List (NOL)?
The National Occupation List (NOL) is a new system created to classify jobs in New Zealand. It is being introduced as a replacement for the existing ANZSCO system, which no longer accurately reflects New Zealand’s job market. The NOL helps identify new and growing jobs that better suit the needs of the country’s workforce and economy while still keeping in line with international standards.
Why is ANZSCO getting replaced?
The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) was first introduced in 2006. Since then, New Zealand’s job market has changed significantly. New roles in technology, changes in manufacturing, and shifts in sectors like accommodation, transport, aged care, and agriculture mean that ANZSCO no longer reflects New Zealand’s workforce accurately.
Even though New Zealand and Australia have similar job markets, there are enough differences to make ANZSCO outdated for New Zealand. This makes it harder to report on skilled migration and work visas accurately, which is why the NOL is a better fit for New Zealand.
Why is the National Occupation List Important?
New Zealand’s job market has changed a lot over the years. The NOL allows the country to update its list of recognised jobs, adding new roles that are important today. This list is designed to better match the current job market and meet the needs of workers and employers in New Zealand.
While the NOL replaces the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) in New Zealand, it still maintains alignment with international standards to make job comparisons easier across countries.
Planned Updates to the NOL:
- First Version Release: The first version of the NOL will be released on 20 November 2024.
- Submission Deadline: Submissions for the first release need to be made by 5pm on 30 October 2024. Any submissions received after this date will be considered for future updates.
- Regular Updates: The NOL will be updated every year, depending on how many changes are needed.
The current version of the NOL, consultation documents and related documents can be downloaded from https://www.stats.govt.nz/.

Consultation and Future Updates
Both Stats NZ and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) agree that the ANZSCO system is no longer suitable. They are looking at ways to update the system to better reflect the modern job market.
Stats NZ has ask for feedback from different groups to make sure the new system meets the needs of New Zealand’s workforce. This consultation will help decide the best way forward to update how jobs are classified.
Conclusion: The Future of Job Classifications in New Zealand
As the National Occupation List (NOL) replaces the old ANZSCO system, New Zealand will have a more up-to-date way to classify jobs. This system will reflect the country’s current job market, help with skilled migration, and improve work visa processes, all while keeping New Zealand in line with international standards.
