New Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) for Western Australia

From 1 July 2024, a new state-wide Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) for Western Australia will come into effect.

The WA DAMA, combined with WA’s existing State Nominated Migration Program, will enable up to 10,000 overseas workers to settle in WA annually and help address critical workforce shortages in the state.

WA Employers will continue to be able to access the occupations and concessions of DAMAs that are in operation for relevant regions of WA. Additionally, employers will now be able to access a broader list of occupations and concessions under the new WA DAMA.
