Australian Skills Classification (ASC) Specialist Tasks

As described by the National Skills Commission: The specialist tasks are designed to describe day- to -day work within an occupation, and are work activities a person undertakes specific to a job. While these skills can be transferrable across occupations and sectors, unlike core competencies, they are not universal. The Australian Skills Classification identifies specialist tasks for occupations in the Australian labour market in a way that allows these tasks to be compared across different occupations.

The skills clusters are clusters of similar specialist tasks. These tasks are considered to be broadly transferable – if you can do one task in the cluster, you can do the others. They show how skills are related and connected to one another, and illustrates the transferability of skills across occupations.
