Worried about your visa and any recent changes made to requirements? Please contact the Department of Home Affairs with all your visa questions as we will be unable to assist with these enquiries.

From 31 July 2024, TRA removed the mandatory OSAP assessment requirements for specified construction occupations/country of passport combinations for applicants with a relevant qualification, so they can undertake a cheaper and simpler MSA assessment instead. Please see the Construction Occupation list for more information.

The TRA enquiry line will be closed from 3:00pm (AEDST), Friday 20th December 2024 and resume operations at 10:00am (AEDST), Monday 23rd December 2024.  In the meantime, please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS) and updated processing times on the TRA website as this may have the answer to your query.
