ANZSIC CODES
The Australian Bureau of Statistics and the New Zealand Department of Statistics
developed the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification
(ANZSIC) in 1993 and redeveloped it in 2006. This system enables the grouping of
activities into similar categories which are comparable with international industrial
classifications. This system of codes is used by ABS in data collection requiring
economic compilation.1
The ANZSIC structure consists of four levels, namely:
Divisions
This is the broadest level with 17 identified categories represented by an Alpha letter:

Subdivision
Each subdivision is represented by a two digit code.
Group
Each group is represented by a three digit code.
Class
This group is represented by a four digit code which provides the greatest level of
detail as to the nature of activities.

Co-operatives and ANZSIC classification
The Registry of Co-operatives & Associations uses the ANZSIC system to classify
the activities of co-operatives. Co-operatives are assigned an ANZSIC class level
code on initial registration. This is the primary code. Thereafter a co-operative
endorses or amends the assigned code through lodgement of its annual return.
For the purpose of this report and to ensure consistency in presenting information on
the co-operative sector the Registry is using the first divisional level of the ANZSIC
coding system to categorise the industry in which a co-operative operates. The
primary ANZSIC codes have been taken back to the broad industry classification at
first divisional level.
The classification is based on a co-operative having from 51-100% of their activities
in a particular industry. In some cases co-operatives listed several ANZSIC codes
indicating that they were working across a range of industries. However the vast
majority of the co-operatives indicated that 100% of their activities were based in one
industry sector. If a co-operative indicated 50% of activities were based in another
sector then that co-operative has also been included in that second sector. In a small
number of cases, a co-operative may have had less than 50% activities across a
number of sectors. In these cases the sectors having the two greatest percentages have
been included. If a co-operative had indicated a reasonably even spread of activities
across a number of sectors then the co-operative has been included in each of those
sectors.

Co-operatives and regional classification
Upon registration a co-operative nominates the local government area in which it
operates. This may be updated or amended upon lodgement of a co-operative’s
annual return.
In addition to the 14 identified regions across New South Wales a 15th classification
“other” has been included to cover Lord Howe Island and co-operatives which have
specified activities across the state.
A co-operative’s inclusion in a particular region is based on 51-100% of activities
being conducted in that area. The vast majority of co-operatives indicated that 100%
of their activities were conducted in one region. Where a co-operative had nominated
50% of activities in another region then it has also been included in that second
region. In a small number of cases a co-operative may have indicated that activities
were evenly spread across a number of regional areas with these co-operatives being
included in each of those regions.
It should be noted that some co-operatives may have listed their registered or head
office as their locations for reporting purposes and that production or work activities
may take place in other geographic regions.
