South Australia DAMA Occupation List

The SA DAMA comes under two agreements which list eligible occupations and concessions available:

Adelaide Innovation and Technology Agreement: includes 60 occupations that are restricted to employers in the Adelaide Metropolitan region. The only concession that applies to these occupations is that they all have a pathway to permanent residency, and includes an age concession.
South Australian Regional Workforce Agreement: includes 78 occupations eligible to employers in the whole of South Australia and 36 occupations eligible for employers only in the postcode range 5110 to 5734 (non-metropolitan SA). The agreement includes a range of occupation-specific concessions concerning:
- Skills and experience
- TSMIT
- English
- Age
- Permanent pathway

Review the lists to see if your occupation is eligible and what concessions apply.

Notes: *Some occupations are not ANZSCO occupations and have been developed by the SA Government.
