The JRP is an employment-based skills assessment program. It is for international student graduates with an Australian qualification that has been verified through a Provisional Skills Assessment. The program gives you:
• The opportunity to develop your skills
• Employment experience in an Australian workplace
• A skills assessment outcome to apply to the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs) for a skilled visa
• A skills assessment shows if you have the skills and experience needed to work in Australia in your occupation.
Before you apply, you need to check with Home Affairs if:
• You need a skills assessment for your visa, and
• TRA is the right assessing authority for your occupation
Before you apply for the JRE, you must complete the Provisional Skills Assessment (PSA). Your PSA outcome must be within three (3) years of your outcome.
Job Ready Employment (JRE):
The JRE is part of the Job Ready Program (JRP). This step is to let you get the experience needed in an Australian workplace to develop skills relevant to your occupation.
To be eligible for the JRE, and ensure you are well placed to successfully complete the program, you must:
• Have a successful PSA (or JRPRE) for your nominated occupation
• Submit your JRE application within your PSA (or JRPRE) valid period*
• Nominate an occupation on the skilled occupation list where TRA is the relevant skills assessing authority
• Be employed and your employment arrangement:
• Provides sufficient opportunities for you to develop the required skills and
• Is verifiable by TRA
Note: the following licensed occupations are not eligible occupations for the JRP:
• Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic
• Electrician (General and Special Class)
• Plumber (General)
Job Ready Workplace Assessment (JRWA):
To be eligible for a JRWA, you must meet the following criteria:
• your employment arrangements have been verified by TRA
• Acceptable evidence has been provided over a minimum of six (6)-months full-time equivalent employment from your JRE Start Date
• Acceptable SPRs, EVRs, and any other requested information has been provided.
Please note: If you change employer, you must register your new employer as soon as possible in the Online Portal. You must also upload a completed EVR for any additional or new employer. This must be reviewed and accepted by TRA. Before your JRWA can proceed, you must have completed at least one (1) month employment with your employer after the date you registered your employer online.
Job Ready Final Assessment (JRFA):
To be eligible to apply for a JRFA, you must have:
• Achieved a successful JRWA outcome and
• Completed a minimum of 12 months of full-time paid employment (or equivalent part-time employment) within TRA approved employment.
This evidence must be reviewed and accepted by TRA.
After verifying your employment evidence, TRA will email you when you are eligible to apply for your JRFA. Please be aware that you should not consider the JRP completed until you have received the official outcome letter. It is important to maintain your employment arrangements until you have received the official JRFA outcome letter which confirms your successful outcome.
Migration Skills Assessment (MSA)
The Migration Skills Assessment (MSA) is for applicants who need a skills assessment as part of their skilled migration visa application to the Department of Home Affairs.
The MSA outcome recognises if you have the skills and experience needed at the required level to work in Australia in your nominated occupation.
You can only use a successful MSA outcome for your visa application to Home Affairs for migration purposes. We do not issue anything further.
You cannot use an MSA outcome for employment, licensing or qualification-recognition purposes.
To apply for MSA, you must:
• Have a qualification directly related to your nominated occupation
• Have the required amount of directly relevant employment in your occupation
• Read the MSA Applicant Guidelines for employment requirements
• Have your occupation listed on a skilled occupation list (with TRA listed as the relevant assessing authority).
Documents you will need:
• Previous TRA number, passport details, personal details, occupation, visa type
• Agent/representative details (if applicable)
• Qualification details or apprenticeship
• Employment details for each employment period you are claiming.
• Copy of your successful outcome from a TRA Skills Assessment
Note: You cannot change or view your application once you have submitted it.
We can help you to get your qualification recognised. Helping you through each step of TRA to complete smooth MSA application without any delay.
