Visa Sponsorship — Including DAMA Pathways
For candidates needing visa support, we can offer employer sponsorship, including through the Far North Queensland DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement).
A DAMA is a specialised regional migration program between the Australian Government and regional authorities that enables employers in designated regions (like Cairns & Far North QLD) to sponsor skilled overseas workers under more flexible conditions than the standard skilled migration system. It may also provide:
✅ Access to a broader range of occupations
✅ Concessions on English language, age, salary and experience requirements
✅ Multiple visa pathways including Skills in Demand (SID) visas, Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) visas, and potential pathways to permanent residency after meeting regional visa conditions
