オーストラリア永住権＆就労ビザコミュのTRA Job Ready Program - Outstanding Issues

There are a number of serious outstanding issues still to be resolved:

1. People already in Australia on 485 visas are not likely to have sufficient time to complete the job ready program. One solution to this issue would be for DIAC to issue a 485 visa extension. Currently there is no provision for the 485 visa to be extended.

2. TRA requirements indicate that the job ready program applies to anyone who lives in Australia. Even if an applicant meets the requirements for assessment through TRA's usual UAC pathways, it appears that they must go through the job ready program if living in Australia. In particular, Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) applicants who live in Australia would be required to go through the job ready program, which is not appropriate. It seems logical that the job ready program would only cover people either on a 485 or bridging visa for 485 and we await further clarification of this from TRA and DIAC

3. Documentation for employers to complete to join the job ready program is still not available from TRA
