The released document is the user guide for the Whole-of-Australian-Government (WoAG) Occupation Coding Service, version as at 22 October 2025 (go-live), originally released 30 June 2025. It is a technical API manual for software developers, covering registration, token-based authentication, synchronous single-record and small-batch coding (up to 300 records), and asynchronous bulk coding for files of up to millions of records. The service uses hierarchical support vector machine models trained on supervised machine learning, applies a confidence threshold, and codes to the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations. Rate limits are set at 1,000 requests per day for public users and 10,000 for partner users. Safeguards described include an IRAP assessment by an ASD-registered assessor, hosting only in Australia, no offshore failover, automated deletion of batch files, and isolated ML training within ABS-owned AWS accounts. No specific figures on accuracy or costs are given.
