DAMA Occupation Lists

There are currently 13 Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMAs) across Australia. Each DAMA has its own list of eligible occupations, requirements and possible concessions. DAMA occupation lists can include occupations that are not available under the standard skilled occupation lists.

DAMA pathways may be available through:

Skills in Demand 482
Employer Nomination Scheme 186
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional 494

Each Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) has its own occupation list, eligibility requirements and concessions. Always check with a qualified immigration lawyer or registered migration agent to confirm whether your occupation is eligible under the relevant DAMA and whether you meet all the applicable visa and DAMA requirements.
