Job Ready Employment Application Process

You will need to submit your application through our Online Portal.

The date you submit your application in our Online Portal will be your Start Date of the Job Ready Program.

Your Start Date may be updated if your Prior Employment claim is accepted or if your documents were not decision ready when you applied.

If we need any additional information or evidence, we will request it via your registered email address.
We may also contact you over the phone. If we call you, it will register as a ‘private number’.

You can work for more than one eligible employer at the same time, but you must register each one.
For each employer, you’ll need to submit an Employment Verification Report and provide 3 weeks of valid pay evidence. The maximum number of employers you can register across your time in the Program is 5.

You will need to upload the following documents with your online application:

• An Employment Verification Report
• Three weeks of acceptable pay evidence, including evidence that you were working for your employer at the time you applied for Job Ready Employment. If you are paid weekly this would include:
  1. Your most recent payslip (or other acceptable pay evidence) dated as close as practical to the
     date of your Job Ready Employment application.
  2. Payslips from the 2 weeks prior (Unless you are claiming Prior Employment)
• Passport identification page.
• Evidence of any changes to your name (if applicable).
• An Agent Nomination form (if using a migration agent or another person to act on your behalf).
