On 28 July, the Australian Bureau of Statistics published its post-release changes to the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA). This included removing the exclusion statement about people working in VET and TAFE for 259931 Adult Literacy/ Numeracy Teacher.
The definition now reads Teaches literacy, numeracy and digital literacy to adults in a range of settings, including adult education facilities, workplaces, libraries, community organisations, correctional facilities and homes.
Thanks again to the ABS for being so responsive. We all look forward to ticking our own special occupation code box in the August 2026 Census!
