Employers must obtain the delegate`s approval before applying for an employment contract and obtaining the agreement of the designated area delegate. Ask for permission to enter an employment contract under goldfield`s DAMA. The DAMA program uses the temporary qualification deficit (SST) flow of sub-class 482 Visa and “ENS”) of sub-category 186. As a result, DAMA does not necessarily have its own requirements. The “DAMA requirements” are subject to the electricity requirements that the skilled migrant imposes. Interstaff`s registered migration agents can help you understand if a DAMA employment contract is right for your business. We then accompany you through each step of the process of preparing your proof requirements. We are also in contact with the Ministry of the Interior and the third parties concerned on your behalf. These include managing and submitting the application on your behalf and consulting your compliance obligations as a Visa sponsor. Goldfield`s DAMA comprises 72 trades and includes the Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Coolgardie (Kambalda), Leonora and Menzies regions of Western Australia. The Goldfields will be among the first regions in Australia to reach a five-year agreement with the Commonwealth to help skilled migrants in key positions where Australian labour is not available.

A Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) is a formal agreement between the Australian government and a regional state or territory authority. DAMA allows employers in designated areas to sponsor qualified and qualified foreign workers for positions they cannot fill with local labour. It is tailor-made to address current and growing bottlenecks in the labour market and local employment conditions. Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Minister David Coleman said the federal government was working to meet the skills needs of regional Australia. Subscribe to all the latest migration information The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the Australian government have reached an agreement on the Goldfields Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA), approved in March 2019 by Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Minister David Coleman. DAMA Goldfield is a five-year employment contract between the federal government, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the Shires of Coolgardie, Leonora and Menzies. It aims to attract skilled migrants to work and life in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Coolgardie, Leonora and Menzies, so that Goldfields employers can sponsor skilled overseas workers in certain sectors that currently have critical skills and labour shortages. We always advocate that Australians be offered a job first. Where there is a shortage of skilled labour, we believe that skilled migrants are essential to complement local staff. Concessions may apply to certain occupations for each DAMA territory. This may include salary, work experience, English concessions, etc.

Please contact us to discuss these concessions if you are an employer who wishes to sponsor DAMA or a potential visa applicant with a sponsor in a DAMA region. DAMA relies on the employment contract for temporary skills shortage (subclass 482) (underclass 482). Sponsors will enter into an employment contract with the Australian government and workers will then receive a sub-category 482 visa.
