Region-specific migration agreements that give employers and workers more flexibility than the standard skilled visa list.
A Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) is a formal agreement between the Australian Government and a state, regional or territory body, allowing employers in that region to sponsor overseas workers for occupations and conditions tailored to local shortages.
We work with regional employers to determine whether a DAMA or standard labour agreement applies, and manage the endorsement, nomination and visa process.
