JRP is the onshore pathway TRA uses to assess overseas-trained tradespeople against Australian standards — combining supervised paid work with formal assessment. Here's every category and occupation CareerNest currently supports, plus how the program runs end to end.
PSA reviews qualifications and experience to confirm provisional eligibility.
JRE registers paid employment in the nominated occupation (up to 3 months prior claimable if eligible).
JRWA workplace visit and assessment at 863 hours and 6 months.
JRFA completed after 1,725 total paid hours — issues the final outcome.
