You will receive notification of the outcome of your PSA application by email following the assessment and verification process.
Successful outcome
If your assessment is successful, the outcome letter can be used to apply to Home Affairs for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). A successful PSA outcome also means you meet the pre-requisite requirement to participate in the JRP.
If you apply for the JRP, your nominated occupation must be the same as the occupation assessed in your PSA application.
Your PSA outcome is valid for 3 years from date of issue. You must submit your JRP application within the valid period. If your PSA has expired and you would like to apply for the JRP, you will need to create a new account and submit a new PSA application.
Unsuccessful outcome
Your application will be unsuccessful if:
- your application is not complete and decision ready on submission
- you do not meet program eligibility requirements at your PSA application date
- your documents contain insufficient detail to satisfy PSA eligibility requirements
- your qualification is not at the required level or not relevant to your nominated occupation
- your qualification was issued as a result of RPL, or credit transfer resulting from RPL
- TRA cannot verify your qualification
- documents are found to contain false or misleading information.
If your application is unsuccessful, the outcome letter will provide you with the reasons for the outcome and information about your options. You can apply for a review or make a new PSA application.
If you submit a new PSA application you will be required to create a new account, which will result in a new TRA reference number, online portal username and password. A new application will require you to resubmit all relevant evidence provided with your original PSA application and any additional documents needed to address the reasons your original application was unsuccessful.
