Work Visa Information

The Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) is a tailored immigration pathway designed to address specific labour shortages in designated areas across Australia. It allows employers in these regions to sponsor skilled and semi-skilled overseas workers for positions they are unable to fill with local workers. DAMA provides flexibility for regions to respond to their unique economic and labour market needs.

Key Features of DAMA:

Labour Agreements: DAMA operates under a labour agreement framework, providing access to more occupations and offering concessions to standard visa requirements.
Regional Focus: This agreement is region-specific, targeting areas that experience distinct labour shortages and require customised solutions.
Pathway to Permanent Residency: DAMA agreements can provide a pathway to permanent residency for visa holders, ensuring long-term workforce stability in the region.

DAMA Visa Information

You may also be nominated by an Australian employer or State or Territory Government if you have skills and qualifications that are required in Australia.
