We report the spectroscopic classification of optical transients from 2012-Sep-06 UTC using the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS - Dopita et al., 2007, ApSS, 310, 255) on the ANU 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, NSW Australia, using the B3000/R3000 gratings (3600-9800, 1A resolution). Listed below are the transient designation along with type and redshift as determined using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
