Dairy sector
Statistics New Zealand has engaged with the dairy sector and developed new task descriptions for three dairy roles that sit under the occupation of Dairy Cattle Farmer (121313) in the Australia and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). The three new sub category roles are:
- Dairy Farm Manager (Skill Level 1)
- Assistant Dairy Farm Manager (Skill Level 3)
- Dairy Herd Manager (Skill Level 3)
- Given that the above dairy roles are all skill level 1-3, applicants for the SMC may be eligible for points for skilled employment, subject to meeting remuneration and other requirements.
These changes apply to applications made from 15 February 2021 onwards.
