The Australian Logistics Council (ALC) has made a submission to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) on the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA) 2027 update, calling for improved recognition of the operational complexity, skill intensity and emerging roles across Australia’s supply chain and freight logistics sector. The submission highlights gaps in current classifications, including the underrepresentation of critical occupations and the absence of emerging roles in areas such as automation, digital logistics, sustainability and cybersecurity. Strengthening OSCA will support more accurate workforce data and better inform policy, skills investment and migration settings.
