The Trades Recognition Australia website provides information on how to apply for an International Skills Assessment in your occupation. Trades Recognition Australia 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 Multicultural Affairs.
Trades Recognition Australia does not provide advice on visas or issue points for migration. Please refer to the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs website for details.
