If you are planning to migrate to Australia as a skilled migrant you will need to have your qualifications and skills assessed as part of your visa application.
The Australian Government's Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is ultimately responsible for consideration of your visa application. You are required, however, to have your skills assessed by a designated assessing authority before lodging your application.
The DIAC has commissioned an assessment authority for your occupation to assist you in this process.
Working as a General Mechanical Engineering Tradesperson in Australia requires evidence of an appropriate level of skills and practical experience. This fact sheet is designed to provide information to help you have your skills and qualifications assessed for migration.
Step 1. Read the DIAC Booklet 6 – General Skilled Migration
It is essential that you read Opens in a new window DIAC Booklet 6 – General Skilled Migration as it will help you understand the steps involved in applying for your visa. This booklet is available in hardcopy from Australian embassies and consulates, and can also be downloaded from the DIAC website.
It contains information on basic requirements for migration and processing visa applications as well as a points test and self assessment.
Step 2. Assessment Procedure
To process your application the DIAC will need to classify your skills and qualifications by Australian standards. The DIAC has nominated Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) as the assessing authority for the occupation of General Mechanical Engineering Tradesperson.
In conducting an assessment, the following factors will be considered:
* formal training and experience, or
* solely on-the-job experience
* skills, knowledge and experience equivalent to an Australian trained tradesperson

Step 2a. Supporting Documents
As part of your TRA trade skills assessment you will also be required to provide supporting documentation. The required documents are listed on the assessment application form and include:
* evidence of completing a trade or trade related course
* statements from employers
All documentation must be certified true copies. Note that the name, status and address of the person certifying the copy must be clearly evident. Wherever possible, an official stamp should accompany their signature.
You may need to keep a copy of these documents for purposes of employment so please make sure you keep a copy for your personal records.
Step 2b. Send in your application form
Send your application form to TRA with the required documentation and assessment fee.
Once your application, supporting documents and assessment fees have been received the assessment process can commence.
TRA will then send you a written statement indicating that your skills either meet or do not meet the Australian requirements to migrate as a General Mechanical Engineering Tradesperson.
If your assessment advises that you meet the requirements, you can submit this statement with your DIAC visa application.
