Aged or Disabled Carer, ANZSCO 423111: What the Code Covers

Aged or Disabled Carer, ANZSCO 423111

Code: 423111. Skill level: 4. This role covers people who provide general household assistance, emotional support, care, and companionship for aged or disabled people in their own homes. That is the ABS ANZSCO 2022 definition, as of 2025-07-21.

Skill level 4 means the work is typically linked to Certificate II or III qualifications, or equivalent experience. It sits below the skill level 1 to 3 range that most points-tested visas require. Some employer-sponsored and state-nominated pathways can include lower skill levels, so the skill level is a data point, not a door slam.

Which lists it sits on

As of 2025-07-21, ANZSCO 423111 does not appear on the skilled occupation lists checked for this record. That means it is not on the Core Skills Occupation List, the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List, the Short-term Skilled Occupation List, or the Regional Occupation List.

Being on a list and being in shortage are two different things. List membership opens specific visa pathways. Shortage status is a separate measure.

The 2024 shortage rating

The 2024 Occupation Shortage List rates ANZSCO 423111 as S, in shortage at the national level. That means employers across Australia are reporting difficulty filling these roles.

A shortage rating does not by itself open a visa pathway. It tells you there is real labour demand. Whether that demand translates into a visa option depends on which lists the occupation sits on and which visa subclass you are looking at.
