The Adamsons Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Could anyone advise me about TRA. I have already posted my application to TRA and they received it on 23 April, I applied as a gas fitter as I have been doing this for the last 12 years. However, I am a mechanical fitter/turner to trade and I am planning to go back to my original trade if/when we get to oz. My question is, will I need a TRA certificate as a Mechanical fitter/turner to work over there or will my TRA certificate (if I get one) as a gas fitter suffice?

calNgary Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Unfortunately your TRA certificate means near on didlly squat over here. Each state have their own licencing laws, not so much as a fitter ,you should be able to do that from day dot,,,but the gas will require a licence and each state varies in what your required to do, as in night school, day course, etc etc.. What State are you looking at moving to? I will try and find you some more information if i know.. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adamsons Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks for your reply, we are planning on moving to Perth, there appears to be quite a demand for mechanical fitters there. as far as I can make out I can get my TRA as a gas fitter but as long as I have a PR visa (190) I can do whatever I like when we get there. I'm just making sure there wont be a spanner thrown in the works as I dont really fancy going to college to requalify as a gas fitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 On a PR visa you can do what you want once your here. Gasfitters/plumbers and electricians seem hardest hit in the licencing world,, this link 'should' help you get a jist of whats required to work as a Gas fitter in WA - http://www.licensinglinenews.com/Newsletter/Edition-70-August-2009/WA-gas-fitting-training-requirements.aspx Seek.com should give you a good idea of what work is about and in what areas..

The Adamsons Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Cheers Cal, I had a look at the link, I think you've just reinforced the thought of me going back to being a fitter, thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
