A friend of ours contacted Shayne Padgett with Workforce Solutions in Brisbane on our behalf and age (my OH is 47) was never an issue. I suggest you contact Shayne at ShayneP@workforcesolutions.com.au and tell him what your father can do and see what see if they would be interested.

MandyC Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi,My fiance is a turner / machinist (29 yrs old) & we are starting the process of immigrating. Does anyone know the requirements of the skills assesments for this trade?HiMy husband is a toolmaker and had his TRA approved in March. We had to get the following documents together:CV detailing machinery etcContract of apprenticeshipTrade CertificateCertificates of courses completed eg N1 & N2, safety, first aid etcReferences from past and current employers (I dont know if a payslip would suffice for current employment, DH owns his own business so we gave registration and financials to prove current employment). I asked past employers to give service certificates, be warned that some companies might have things in their archives and this takes time for them to haul the files out. They only keep records for the past 5 years in their offices.Identity or passport detailsOn the last page of the TRA application form you must give a detailed job description Turner/Machinist, stating what machinery, hand tools and measuring instruments he has used or you could do a statutory declaration. We went this way as there was not enough space on the form.My DH was approved on the 900 hours regulated apprenticeship totalling 4 years with work experience. His apprenticeship was for 3 years followed with qualified Toolmaking experience thereafter. The year directly after the apprenticeship seemed to be vital that he was still in the toolmaking trade. If you need any help with this, feel free to PM me, the trades our husbands are in are similar to some degree, as they use the same tools, measuring instruments and equipment.
