Complete Support for Your Job Ready Journey
Starting a career in Australia should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Mister Kangaroo provides end-to-end assistance from your Provisional Skills Assessment through to your final Job Ready Program outcome. We work closely with TRA, employers and students to ensure every step is smooth, well prepared and decision ready.
This is the first stage after completing your Australian qualification. The PSA confirms your studies and your initial employment experience so you can apply for the Temporary Graduate Visa subclass 485 and enter the Job Ready Program.
What Mister Kangaroo manages for you

• Ensuring the submission is decision ready
• Communicating directly with TRA
• Handling any requests or updates
• Guiding you toward a successful outcome
Your PSA result is valid for three years.
Once your PSA is complete, you begin working in your nominated occupation in Australia. TRA requires a minimum of 863 paid hours completed over at least six months. These hours can be full time, part time or casual as long as they meet the total requirement.
