DAMA is an agreement between Australian Govt and Regional,State authority. It provides access to more overseas workers than the standard migration program. You need to be sponsored by an employer in a designated area and an employer can apply a visa 482 or 186 for qualified applicants.

fgs · November 2020

A Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) is a formal agreement between the Australian Government and a regional, state or territory authority. It provides access to more overseas workers than the standard skilled migration program. DAMAs operate under an agreement-based framework, providing flexibility for regions to respond to their unique economic and labour market conditions.

A DAMA is a two-tier framework covering a defined regional area. The first tier is an overarching five-year deed of agreement (head agreement) with the region’s representative. The second tier comprises individual labour agreements with employers under the settings of the head agreement for that region.

DAMA labour agreements are between the Australian Government and endorsed employers operating within the relevant region. They are:

generally in effect for five years and
use the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) and Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS) visa programs.
Employers must seek and gain endorsement from the Designated Area Representative before lodging a labour agreement request.

Under the DAMA framework, employers in designated areas experiencing skills and labour shortages can sponsor skilled and semi-skilled overseas workers. Individuals cannot directly access a DAMA. Individuals need to be sponsored:

by an employer operating in a designated region
for an occupation that is specified in the head agreement.
DAMAs ensure employers recruit Australian citizens and permanent residents as a first priority. Among other things, employers must demonstrate a genuine attempt to recruit Australians prior to getting access to a DAMA.

Right now, it would be difficult to get a sponsor due to restrictions for this financial year.

hello everyone,

https://www.facebook.com/anzscosearch/photos/a.559862564069493/4016693431719705/

The FNQ DAMA allows Far North Queensland (FNQ) employers to sponsor skilled and semi-skilled overseas workers for positions they are unable to fill with local workers. The FNQ DAMA is tailored to address current and emerging labour market shortages.

**occupation list:
https://www.cairnschamber.com.au/files/media/original/4a2/41a/839/FNQ-DAMA---Occupation-and-Concessions-List-24-June-2021-alphabetical-v2.pdf

i've read a post about FNQ DAMA at Anzscosearch Australia Migration fb page with updated occupation list as of June 2021. (FB link and occupation list link provided above)
My occupation 312211 (CE draftsperson) is also found on the list. i think i have already asked about this before. How do I know if the employer is qualified to nominate me? is there a list of possible employers wherein we can send our CV's? I hope someone in the forum can share any info about this and thanks in advance too. good news din ito sa mga offshore applicants.

Hi, eto daw yung list ng companies that have been approved under DAMA. Though lahat yata ng states na may DAMA ito ha, not specific lang sa FNQ.
