Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) will temporarily pause all registrations for the Offshore Skills Assessment Program (OSAP) and Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) program from 14 March 2026 to support essential systems changes. Registrations will recommence on 30 March 2026.
During this period, TRA will continue to accept payments for OSAP and TSS applications already in progress until 29 March 2026, ensuring applicants can progress existing applications while systems updates are underway.
The system changes relate to a refreshed panel of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that will undertake assessment services on TRA’s behalf. While this system update is taking place, TRA has removed the RTO Finder function to update it with the details of the new RTO providers.
