WA DAMA: 310 Occupations Available
Starting from 1 July 2024, Western Australia introduced a new DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) to provide employer-sponsored visa options in key sectors that previously lacked this opportunity. This DAMA focuses on critical industries such as health, engineering, education, and construction trades, aiming to address workforce shortages and support the state's economic growth.
WA DAMA Occupation List
There are 310 occupations available here, including Fitter, Diesel Motor Mechanic, Registered Nurse, Truck Driver and Hotel Manager.
39 of the occupations are just for regional Western Australia. These include Teachers' Aide, Vineyard Worker, Excavator Operator, Dietitian, and Scaffolder.
The Western Australia DAMA may be especially interesting for those already working in Perth, who may not be eligible for other visas because:
• Their occupation is not on the list
• They are 45 years of age or older
• They cannot meet the English requirements
• They do not have enough work experience
Concessions
• Age appears to be under 55 for all occupations.
• English - for some occupations 5.0 with no minimum band score, where the 482 normally requires 4.5 in each of the bands for short-term stream or 5.0 in each of the bands for medium-term stream.
• Skills requirements which are reduced for some occupations, such as Diesel Motor Mechanic to only one-year full-time experience required.
• New occupations that cannot be accessed under other programs, such as Decarbonisation Advisor.
There are no salary concessions under the Western Australia DAMA. This means that employers under the WA DAMA will need to pay salary of at least the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold, which is $73,150.
It’s always best to check the rules for your particular occupation on the WA DAMA occupation list.

The 186 visa is only available under the WA DAMA after working on the 482 DAMA for 3 years in Metropolitan Perth, or 2 years in Regional Western Australia.
What are the employer requirements?
To sponsor under the WA DAMA, the employer first needs to be endorsed by Western Australia.
To get that endorsement:
1. The employer is required to show that there is no adverse information about the business, such as problems with migration, industrial relations or occupational health and safety.
2. The employer is required to register on Western Australia's special "Skilled Migrant Employment Register".
3. The employer must have been operating for more than 12 months in Western Australia.
4. The employer must have completed at least 2 job advertisements that meet the requirements, including showing the salary.
Once approved, the employer will also need to:
1. Permit skilled migrants to attend employment law information sessions
2. Provide information yearly to Western Australia government about all employees under the DAMA
What about the DAMAs that are already in Western Australia?
Western Australia already had 4 DAMAs: Kimberley, Goldfields, Pilbara and South West. These only covered a modest area around the local area that had arranged the DAMA. The new WA DAMA covers the whole state.

Great video and clear explanation. Question: If I come in on a TSS 482 via the DAMA route, can my partner still be added to my 482 application and get all the same concessions that I get plus access to the WA DAMA occupations list? Many thanks!

Can I apply for subclass 186 through DAMA while I am on n student visa. I have three years experience as carer and my employer is happy to sponsor me. I couldn’t find anything on DAMA website that says I have to be on 482 Visa
Hi, thank you for watching our videos. The 186 visa is only available under the WA DAMA after working on the 482 DAMA for 3 years in Metropolitan Perth, or 2 years in Regional Western Australia. However, the best way for us to advise you on this would be an initial consultation. Please book an appointment here: www.workvisalawyers.com.au/arrange-an-appointment.html
