ANZSIC 9603: Undifferentiated Service-Producing Activities of Private Households for Own Use

This class consists of units mainly engaged in a range of subsistence services-producing activities relating to households. These activities include cooking, teaching, caring for household members and other services produced by the household for its own subsistence.

What this class covers

ANZSIC class 9603 is the final and most specific level in the ANZSIC hierarchy. It is the point where the industry description becomes narrow enough to use for practical coding decisions.

The main questions to answer here are: does the business mostly do this activity, are the listed primary activities a match, and do any exclusions point to a better code nearby?

Practical guidance

Use the class page when you need the code that should appear in business records, tax-related systems or other operational forms. The decision normally follows the predominant activity of the business, not every secondary activity it performs.

If the business straddles two classes, read the exclusions and compare the sibling classes in the same group. That is usually the quickest way to identify the best fit.
