Outcome

After we have assessed and verified your application, you will receive your Program Outcome Letter via your registered email.

If your application is successful, you can use your outcome letter to:

  • Apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
  • Register for the Job Ready Program (JRP).
Key information about PSA and JRP applications, including PSA validity for 3 years, the need to apply for JRP within that period, and steps required if the PSA expires. The occupation in the PSA outcome must match the JRP application.

Your application is unsuccessful if:

  • It’s incomplete.
  • You don’t meet eligibility requirements.
  • Your documents lack sufficient detail.
  • Your qualification is not at the required level or doesn’t match your occupation.
  • It includes recognition of prior Learning (RPL) or credit transfer from RPL.
  • We cannot verify your qualification.
  • Any documents are false or misleading.

If your application is not successful, we will send you a letter outlining the reasons.

You can then:

  • Request a review (an additional fee applies), or
  • Submit a new PSA application.
