Do you want the inside knowledge of TRA processing times for the Job Ready Program? We have hundreds of clients moving through the program and have a clear understanding of what the current wait times are.
Job Ready Program Processing Times - August 2024
Provisional Skills Assessment (PSA) - 4-6 weeks
JRP Step 1 - Job Ready Employment (JRE):
It takes approximately 1-2 months for TRA to verify your JRE Application and determine if your employment is eligible for the JRP.
It takes approximately 8-9 months after your JRE Start Date (not including prior hours) to become eligible for the JRWA.
6 Month Processing/JRWA Invitation - JRWA invitations open for JRE Start Dates November/December 2023
TRA has changed the way that they process applications.
Look at your JRE Start Date (not including prior hours). The current processing period open is JRE Start Dates of Nov/Dec 2023.
If your JRE Start Date is after these dates (Jan/Feb 2024) you will need to wait.
For example, if you started the program in January 2024, you can expect to receive an invitation to the Workplace Assessment in September 2024.
JRP Step 2 - Job Ready Workplace Assessment (JRWA) - 4-5 months
Apply for assessment
TRA rings you to confirm information (within 4 weeks)
Application is passed onto an assessor
Assessor contacts you to book the assessment (within 60 days of TRA call)
Result is emailed to you 12-14 weeks after the assessment date.
12 Month Processing - Open anyone who did the JRWA in March/April 2024
TRA has changed the way that they process applications.
If you completed your Workplace Assessment in March or April 2024, you should receive an invitation to the JRFA very soon.
JRP Step 3 - Job Ready Final Assessment (JRFA) - Within 45 days
------------------
Average Job Ready Program Time - 15-18 months
(with processing times)
------------------
Because of these extended wait times, it is very important to:
Begin your Job Ready Program (JRP) before or soon after receiving your 485 visa.
Take limited time off (annual leave, sick leave, personal leave) during the program.
Avoid changing employers often as it can cause gaps in employment.
