Arborist (ANZSCO 362212) is a trade occupation assessed by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). Assessment is evidence-based against a nominated qualification — the Certificate III in Arboriculture (AHC30824). Whether an individual meets the requirement depends on their own qualifications and work history.
The pathway depends on where and how experience was gained: PSA (485 (Post-Vocational Education Work)), Job Ready Program (JRP) (189/190/491 and 482/SID), MSA (Permanent skilled (MLTSSL/STSOL)). Each program has its own evidence and experience requirements set by TRA.
Completing a relevant CRICOS course can support a TRA pathway, but a successful skills assessment is a separate step with its own requirements. The courses listed on this page lead toward the nominated qualification; they are not themselves a guarantee of assessment or a visa outcome.
