The release comprises an email chain from August 2025 and the draft user guide for the Whole-of-Australian-Government (WoAG) Occupation Coding Service, a machine-learning tool developed by the ABS Business Register and Statistical Standards Branch. The emails show a Stakeholder Relationship Manager seeking approval of website changes to the guide and an accompanying Integration Script Examples mini-guide; a Technology Services Division officer approved the documents on 29 August 2025 after finding no obvious issues. The guide describes the service's design: a hierarchical support vector machine model with a confidence threshold, coding to the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA). It sets out public and partner user tiers, with throttling limits (1,000 and 10,000 requests per day), synchronous and asynchronous bulk coding, and API endpoints. Security content notes an IRAP assessment, ISM and PSPF compliance, and onshore hosting. The integration guide carries a disclaimer that its sample scripts are not production-ready or supported by the ABS.
