You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and validity of all information provided to TRA.
TRA will take reasonable steps to verify the validity of all information supplied throughout the TSS/OSAP skills assessment. However, if at a later date TRA believes that information previously supplied for an application with a successful outcome may be false or misleading, TRA may undertake a further investigation and/or write to you notifying you of TRA’s intention to revoke the outcome and seeking your comment. TRA may also invite you to undergo a reassessment of your evidence, experience and skills. No fees will be charged for a reassessment of this type.
If you do not participate in a reassessment or respond to TRA’s notice, TRA may conclude that the information previously supplied is false or misleading, and that in reliance on that information TRA has incorrectly assessed an application as successful. If so, TRA may write to you to advise the assessment is no longer considered successful and advise Home Affairs accordingly.
If TRA decides to revoke your assessment in these circumstances, you will not be eligible to a right of review under clause 2.5 of these Guidelines.
If you participate in a reassessment and disagree with the outcome, you will be eligible to a right of review under clause 2.5 of these Guidelines.
Where TRA considers false or misleading information has been provided to it in support of an application, TRA may also refer these instances to the appropriate authorities for investigation.
Note: Penalties may apply under the Crimes Act 1914 and the Criminal Code Act 1995 for making false or misleading statements and providing false or misleading information or documents.
