About Oversix

We've been where you are. That's why we built this.

Oversix was created by an overseas electrician who navigated Australia’s skills recognition system alone, and decided no one else should have to.

Our story

Why Oversix exists

In 2024, I was in the middle of my own TRA skills assessment as an electrician. I couldn’t find the right information. I didn’t know what to study, where to start, who to contact, or which documents I needed to gather.

I figured it out, eventually. But it took months of confusion, wrong turns and wasted time that I could have avoided with the right guidance.

“Once I got my skills assessment, I knew exactly what I wanted to build: a service where every question I had, every obstacle I faced, would simply not be a problem for the next tradie.”

Throughout 2025, Valentine and I worked on building Oversix, the service I wished had existed when I needed it most. We launched in September 2025.

What drives us every day

Two simple ideas behind everything we do.

01

Our mission

To give every overseas tradie the clarity, support and structured pathway they need to get their skills formally recognised in Australia, without the confusion, the wrong turns or the wasted months.

02

Our vision

A world where a qualified tradie from anywhere can arrive in Australia and know exactly what to do next, because the system is no longer a maze.

What makes us different

Skills recognition is all we do, and we do it as tradies, for tradies.

01

Built by a tradie, for tradies

Our founder went through the exact same process. We don’t just understand the system, we’ve lived it.

02

100% focused on trades

We don’t do immigration. We don’t do job placement. We do one thing, skills recognition for tradies, and we do it well.

03

We speak your language

We work with tradies from France, the UK, the Philippines, South Africa and beyond, in English and French.

04

End-to-end support

From the free eligibility check to the final outcome, we guide you through every document, every step and every decision.

A trusted network behind every pathway

We collaborate with a network of partners to support every stage of your Australian journey.
