Code: 241311. Skill level: 1 (the highest, requiring a bachelor degree or higher, or at least five years of equivalent experience).

A Middle School or Intermediate School Teacher teaches one or more subjects within a set curriculum to students in the middle years of school. The role also covers students’ social, emotional, intellectual and physical development. Registration or licensing is required in all Australian states and territories and in New Zealand.

The “middle school” label is the Australian term. In New Zealand, the same role is called “intermediate school teacher”. ANZSCO 241311 covers both.

As of 2026-04-16, ANZSCO 241311 appears on these lists:

• Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL): the CSOL is the occupations list used for the Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) Core Skills stream and related pathways. Check the current CSOL on the Home Affairs skill occupation list page.
• Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL): the STSOL opens certain short-term work visa pathways. Same source applies.

List membership is not the same as a shortage rating. Being on the CSOL, STSOL, or the NZ Green List opens a visa pathway. Whether the occupation has a shortage in a specific location or industry is a separate question. The 2025 AU Occupation Shortage List rates occupations by supply and demand. The current rating for 241311 is shown on the occupation page.
