The DAMA is an employer-sponsored program for businesses who need to fill skill shortages by sponsoring an overseas worker, or a temporary resident currently working in Australia. Individual workers cannot apply for this program independently. To be nominated, an individual must be sponsored by an employer under the DAMA program.

South Australian Agreement
The South Australian Regional Workforce Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) has been designed to address skills shortages across the entire state of South Australia.
