If you’re a UK-qualified electrician planning to work in Australia, the first official step in the process is the Skills Assessment. It’s not just a formality—it’s a government-mandated process that confirms your training and experience meet Australia’s standards. Without it, you can’t get a visa, a license, or legally work as a sparky in Australia.
So it’s absolutely crucial, and it has to be done right. Now, here’s how it works. The assessment is run through Trades Recognition Australia, or TRA, and is carried out in three stages by an approved training organisation.
Stage One is all about paperwork. You’ll need to submit your qualifications, references, and a detailed work history. That part costs AUD $1,120, and it’s all about proving what you’ve done on paper.
Stage Two is your technical interview. This is a one-on-one session with an Aussie assessor who’ll ask about your experience, safety practices, and knowledge of Australian wiring rules. It’s not a test as such—it’s more like a professional conversation to check you meet the technical standard. This stage costs AUD $2,000.
If you don’t have recent formal training or if your documentation doesn’t cover all the competencies required, you might also need to complete Stage Three, which is a practical assessment. That’s hands-on, in person, and costs AUD $2,200.
Not everyone needs Stage Three, but it’s there for cases where additional proof of competency is required. So yes—it’s a bit of a process, and not something you want to get wrong.
That’s why at Electrician Australia, we handle everything for you. From reviewing your documents to preparing you for the interview and making sure nothing slips through the cracks—we’ve got you covered. Once you’ve passed, you’ll receive your OTSR, or Offshore Technical Skills Record.
That document allows you to apply for a Provisional Electrical License—which means you can start working in Australia, under supervision. At that point, you’ll complete GAP Training.
This is a short course that fills in the differences between UK and Australian standards—especially local wiring rules and safety protocols. You’ll do this alongside working, and once that’s done, you can apply for your full A-Grade license, which means you can work unsupervised anywhere in Australia.
