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.
------------------
Provisional Skills Assessment (PSA) - 30 days
JRP Step 1 - Job Ready Employment (JRE) - 7-8 months from JRE Start Date (not including backdating hours)
6 Month Processing - 4-5 months
Once the 6 month documents are uploaded, you will be emailed in approximately 2.5-3 months saying you have moved to the next stage of processing. From this email, you will be invited to the workplace assessment within 8 weeks (if there are no further documents to be uploaded).
JRP Step 2 - Job Ready Workplace Assessment (JRWA) - 4-5 months
Apply for assessment
Application is passed onto an assessor (within 1 week)
Assessor contacts you to book the assessment (within 60 days of receiving application)
Result is emailed to you roughly 1.5 months after assessment
12 Month Processing - 2-3 months
Once the 12 month documents are uploaded, documents are processed in order of JRE Start Date, not the submission date. As of April 2024, TRA are processing files with JRE Start Dates of December 2022 and January 2023. If your JRE Start Date is later than this, you will need to wait.
JRP Step 3 - Job Ready Final Assessment (JRFA) - Within 1 week
Average Job Ready Program Time - 18 months
(including 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.
