TRA is a governing body that has the authority to determine the standards against which the skills of a person are assessed for pre-migration purposes.

September, 2007, saw the TRA suspend pathway ‘D’ pending a review. Since then TRA have undertaken a review of the assessment criteria, policy, operational and service delivery arrangements. The review has led to the development of the TRA Migration Assessment Policy (MAP), which replaces UAC.

• Sets out TRA assessment standards and procedures
• Outlines TRA policy for dealing with feedback, reviews and appeals
• Provides information on TRA’s fees and processing times

• Provides new opportunity for people to demonstrate their skills and meet TRA’s assessment requirements
• Much simpler skill stream approach, thus making it easier to understand TRA’s training and employment requirements
• Provides client service focused review and appeal process
• Provides clear definitions of terms used by TRA

• All applications received on or after 1st September 2008 will be assessed against the MAP
• From 1st September applicants can:
  • Receive email notification that TRA has received their application
  • Check on progress of their skills assessment online
  • View and print their TRA outcome letter online
  For further information about the changes please contact the No Borders office.
