Australia is currently experiencing a significant shortage of electricians, a situation that poses challenges to various sectors, including construction and renewable energy. According to the Clean Energy Council, the nation requires an additional 32,000 electricians by 2030 to meet its infrastructure and energy goals.
This shortage is exacerbated by a decline in apprenticeship and traineeship numbers; as of 2025, there were 27,000 fewer apprentices and trainees compared to the previous year, despite government investments in vocational education. The scarcity of skilled electricians threatens to delay major projects and impede Australia’s transition to renewable energy sources.
All applicants must hold a Positive Skills Assessment as an Electrician. This is known as either an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR). The Skills Assessment process is a mandatory requirement for ALL electricians looking to further their career in Australia. Electrician Australia can assist you in securing this Skills Assessment, or if you already hold your OTSR and have applied for a Visa we’d still love to hear from you.
Before you can secure a job, get licensed, or even apply for a visa—you must complete a Skills Assessment. It’s mandatory for all UK-qualified electricians planning to work in Australia, and it’s the first official step on your migration and licensing journey.
At Electricians Australia, we help UK Electricians get assessed, licensed, and working across Australia—with a 100% Skills Assessment success rate to date.
What Is a Skills Assessment?
It’s a government-mandated process that compares your UK qualifications and hands-on experience with Australia’s standards under the Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician.
Conducted via Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) and an approved RTO, your Skills Assessment includes:
Once completed successfully, you’ll receive your Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR)—which unlocks your Provisional Electrical License, GAP Training, and visa eligibility.

Your Skills Assessment is just the beginning. To legally work as an electrician in Australia, securing the right visa is essential—but navigating the process can be overwhelming.
