Why the Demand for Construction Trade Occupations is Booming

The demand for construction trades in Australia is surging. A critical step in your migration journey is the skills assessment. At Nationwide Migration, we specialize in assisting trades workers to complete their skills assessments through trusted authorities like Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). This ensures your skills meet Australian standards—a key requirement for skilled migration pathways.


General Process for Skills Assessment

To migrate under skilled points-tested pathways like Subclass 189, 190, or 491, a skills assessment is required. Here’s an overview of the process:

  1. Documentary Evidence: Compile evidence of your qualifications and employment history, such as certificates, transcripts, employment references, and payslips.

  2. Technical Interview or Practical Assessment: Depending on your occupation and country of origin, you may need to demonstrate your skills through an interview or practical test.


Key Requirements for Points-Tested Pathways

To qualify for Australia’s points-tested skilled pathways, you’ll need:

  • Age: Be under 45 years of age.

  • English Proficiency: Have at least competent English.

  • Points Optimization: Focus on factors like work experience, qualifications, and English test scores to increase your points.
