Did you know 9 out of 10 payroll professionals think payroll should be its own profession?
For this and other insights into the 2023 ANZSCO Payroll Survey by the Australian Workforce Compliance Council Ltd, check out the full survey results.
Background on the Survey
The ANZSCO (Australia & New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) is a skilled-based classification register to categorise all
occupations and jobs in Australia including payroll.
The Australian Government uses this register to collect and disseminate all official stats on jobs and it is a key tenet of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Its data is used to inform and support Government policy, some of which
include:
- The National Census of population and professional occupations,
- Housing,
- Vocational education and training,
- Education funding (billions) for Universities and RTOs,
- Skilled migration programs.
- Funded initiatives to improve the uptake of education and workers in targeted segments.
The ANZSCO “groups” occupations and every four years, (between each census) a brief window opens up for consultation whereby the public including associations can make a case for change in the register.
