EMPLOYER SPONSORED
DAMA Pathways — Your Gateway to Employment Opportunities in Australia
Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA) are tailored arrangements between the Australian Government and regional authorities to address local labour shortages. DAMA allows approved employers in designated regions to sponsor overseas workers for occupations where local skills are insufficient.
DAMA pathways open individualised opportunities to secure skilled employment and, in many cases, transition to permanent residency with the support of local employers and communities.
Highlights
- Employer sponsorship in designated regional areas under DAMA.
- Access to roles with strong local demand and limited local supply.
- Work rights for a specified duration with possible PR pathways.
- Bring eligible family members.
- Long‑term benefits and career growth in regional Australia.
Key Eligibility Requirements
- Sponsorship by an approved DAMA employer in a designated regional area.
- Meet skill level and experience requirements for the nominated occupation.
- Meet health and character requirements.
- Functional English (higher levels may be required for certain roles).
- Sufficient funds for yourself and accompanying family members.
- Commitment to living and working in the designated area for the agreement’s duration.
Our MARA‑registered team guides you end‑to‑end to make your DAMA application smooth and stress‑free.
