2.1 Eligibility

On this page

To be eligible for the PSA, you must:

  • nominate an occupation on the skilled occupation list and TRA is the relevant skills assessing authority 
  • have completed a qualification relevant to your nominated occupation
    • Your qualification must be awarded by a CRICOS registered RTO and
    • was completed through study in Australia

You must meet all eligibility requirements before you apply for the PSA. Your application will be deemed invalid if it is missing:

  • the identification page from your current passport and/or
  • your qualification documents.

Please refer to Section 2.2 for full details on the documents required.

If your application is deemed invalid TRA will contact you and tell you why and give you a timeframe for you to provide the missing documents.

We will assess your application on expiry of the timeframe provided, or on receipt of your missing documents. Your documents must be dated prior to the date of your application, or they will not be considered and your application is likely to be unsuccessful.

TRA will not refund fees where an applicant does not meet program eligibility requirements (see Section 3.3 of the TRA Fees Payment and Refund Policy).
