Migration Agents for Mechanics & Auto Electricians

Why Mechanics Choose Australia

Australia has a persistent shortage of qualified mechanics and auto electricians, particularly in regional areas. Many dealerships and independent workshops actively recruit overseas-qualified tradespeople. Salaries are strong, with experienced mechanics earning $70,000-$90,000 and workshop owners earning significantly more.

TRA Assessment

Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) assesses overseas trade qualifications. The process involves submitting evidence of your qualifications and work experience, then completing a practical assessment if required. You need a minimum of 3 years post-qualification experience. The assessment takes 8-16 weeks.

Visa Pathways

Mechanics can access subclass 189 (Skilled Independent), 190 (State Nominated), 491 (Skilled Work Regional), and employer sponsored visas. Regional workshops frequently sponsor mechanics directly, and several states actively nominate automotive trades for state sponsorship.
