TRA Update on Offshore Skill Assessment Program

23/03/2023

From 1 April 2023, automotive trades qualified applicants from the countries listed below may have their skills assessed under the Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) Migration Skills Assessment (MSA) programme rather than the Offshore Skills Assessment Program (OSAP). The qualification must be pertinent to the desired profession.

Before submitting your application, please confirm with the Department of Home Affairs (www.homeaffairs.gov.au) that a skills assessment is required for your visa application and that TRA is the correct assessing authority for your nominated occupation.
