Trades Recognition Australia has announced a temporary pause on registrations for the Offshore Skills Assessment Program (OSAP) and the Subclass 482 Skills Assessment Program to facilitate system upgrades.
Registrations for both programs will be temporarily suspended from 14 March to 29 March 2026, with services expected to resume on 30 March 2026. The pause will allow TRA to implement technical improvements and introduce an updated panel of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) that will deliver skills assessment services under these programs.
Applicants with existing OSAP or Subclass 482 skills assessment applications already in progress will still be able to continue with their applications, as payments will remain available until 29 March 2026.
As part of the upgrade process, the RTO Finder feature has been temporarily removed while the new panel of assessment providers is being incorporated into the system. An updated list of approved RTOs will be made available once the system updates are completed and registrations reopen.
