TRA – Trades Recognition Australia – Criteria Update

Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) is the skills assessing body for many Australian skilled occupations, including most trade occupations. The TRA has recently updated it’s skills assessment criteria to include a requirement that applicants now include evidence of recent work experience.

In fact all applications received by TRA after 1 January 2010 are subject to this requirement.

The TRA has clarified that in the event that an application submitted to TRA before 1 May 2010, does not meet the Skilled Worker Program assessment criteria, applicants will be given 60 days to provide any extra information that may be required or the option to withdraw their application and have their fee refunded. No fee will be applied to applicants submitting additional information under this arrangement.

Please visit www.deewr.gov.au/tra to find all the information required to lodge an application to have a skills assessment with TRA.
