Hi

Just a quick question, my partner is a welder/fabricator, if he works for a company does he still have to go through tra and become licenced or is that just for those who want to be self employed??

Many Thanks

Hi this is better posted in the immigration forum...

But...

You still need to have your skills assessed by the relevant authority TRA, ACS, VETASSESS BEFORE you can apply for immigration.

The skills assessment will prove you have a skill in demand for Australia. The Visa application will then take that into account.

You will need to get references from employer(s) covering his experience and also write a statutory declaration outlining the work he does and the tools he uses.

With regards to having a license to work in Australia different states require different licenses. You would need to know where you are heading to and then look on the state government website..

It can be useful to use a professional migration agent if you are unsure about the process.

Hope that helps..

Yes, I think you do unfortunately.
