Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA)
A Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) is a labour agreement which allows employers to sponsor overseas workers. A DAMA is designed to fill Australia’s skill shortages, while also protecting jobs for locals.
Key points:
- The DAMA is employer sponsored – an independent individual cannot apply
- The employer must be endorsed before they can sponsor overseas workers
- Employers must evidence a genuine attempt to recruit Australians prior to accessing a DAMA
DAMAs provide access to additional occupations and concessions to standard migration programs under the:
- Temporary Skill Shortage visa (Subclass 482)
- Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (Subclass 494)
- Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186)
Active DAMAs
At the time of writing there are seven DAMA lists in place:
- The Orana region DAMA
- The Northern Territory DAMA II
- The Far North Queensland DAMA
- The Adelaide City Technology and Innovation Advancement DAMA (Metro)
- The South Australian Regional Workforce DAMA (Regional)
- The Victoria’s Great South Coast DAMA
- The Goldfields DAMA
You can refer to the Department website for the latest DAMA lists.
You can speak with a Migration Agent by booking a consultation.
Darren always took the time to answer any questions and help me through the process.
Within weeks he had my partner visa submitted and now I have my permanent residency!
I couldn’t thank Darren and the team enough 👍

My case officer, Sue, has been very professional and knowledgeable throughout the process providing great customer service, from providing the documents required to promptly replying to all queries.
So, to Darren, Kimberley and Sue, thank you all for your support to achieve my Visa.







Our visa process took 11 months (as expected for the visa we applied for) and Sue kept us on track and up to date all the time, extremely organised and always happy to help and provide us with her support.
I highly recommend Visa Go Australia, we couldn't imagine trying to go through this process without Sues help and guidance. Samantha Mills




Can't thank Darren and Kimberley enough.

Thank so much for all your help!
Jonas & Cynthia

I would highly recommend anyone applying for a visa to do it through them.
They made sure we had all the information at every step of they way and nothing was ever a problem if I called or emailed.
Thank you so much to all of the team!
Denny, Victoria and Caitlyn
