The department understands that there is some concern among international students and stakeholders regarding the amendments introduced on 1 January 2010 to support the commencement of the Job Ready Program (JRP). These amendments require certain GSM applicants who nominate a trade occupation to provide a skills assessment dated on or after 1 January 2010 in order to make a valid application.
It is intended that in the future (don't know when.... we will just have to wait for announcement or confirmation), applicants nominating a trade occupation for permanent migration will be able to provide an existing skills assessment when applying. This includes assessments predating 1 January 2010 and will mean that applicants will no longer be required to obtain a further skills assessment. It is intended that these arrangements commence in the first quarter of 2010.
