About TRA

  • Skills Assessment for people intending to migrate to Australia


    TRA is a nominated assessment authority for a number of occupations in the Skilled Migration Program under the Migration Regulations 1994.

    If you intend to migrate to Australia under a general skilled migration category, you must have had your skills assessed by the relevant Australian assessing authority before lodging your application with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC).

    TRA does not provide advice on visas or issue points for migration. Please refer to the DIAC website for details.

  • Skills Assessment for Australian Recognised Trade Certificate (ARTC)


    TRA issues Australian Recognised Trade Certificates (ARTCs) to eligible Australian residents under the Tradesmen’s Rights Regulation Act 1946 (the TRR Act)

    If you are an Australian resident with skills in the metals or electrical trades, and you have developed skills other than through an Australian apprenticeship, the ARTC can provide you with national recognition. TRA does not issue licences, State and territory authorities do.
