Australia Clarifies Trade Licensing Process for Migrant Workers
For individuals planning to relocate to Australia for work in a licensed trade, this means a clear pathway is now outlined, involving specific assessments and training steps before a full license can be obtained.
New data clarifies the process for migrants seeking to work in licensed trades in Australia. Previously, detailed information on this topic was not available.
Migrants are now required to complete a skills assessment to obtain an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR). This record is essential for applying for a provisional license and subsequently commencing Australian context training, which is necessary to achieve a full license. It is noted that specific licensing requirements and training protocols can differ across Australia’s states and territories.
