As of 1 July 2024, Western Australia will be introducing a new state-wide Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA), a pivotal move that will significantly boost the state’s ability to address critical workforce shortages. This new WA DAMA, combined with the existing State Nominated Migration Program, will allow up to 10,000 overseas workers to settle in WA annually. For businesses and individuals navigating this landscape, ensuring that all migration and business-related documentation is accurate and compliant is crucial. Perth Translation Services is ready to assist with NAATI-certified document translation services required for migration administrative purposes.
Understanding the WA DAMA and Its Impact
The WA DAMA is designed to give Western Australian employers access to a broader range of occupations and concessions than standard skilled visa programs typically allow. This flexibility is crucial for addressing the unique economic and labour market conditions in different regions across the state.
Under the DAMA framework, employers in WA can sponsor skilled and semi-skilled overseas workers for specific occupations that are in demand. These workers can apply for visas such as the subclass 482 Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS), subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional), and subclass 186 Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS). The DAMA not only provides more opportunities for businesses to fill labour gaps but also ensures that there is a structured and regulated process for bringing in overseas talent.
The Importance of Professional Translation Services
Given the complexity of the DAMA framework, having professionally translated documents is more critical than ever. Perth Translation Services, with its team of NAATI-certified translators, is uniquely positioned to assist businesses and migrants in this process. Our expertise spans both migration and business translation services, ensuring that all documents meet the stringent requirements of Australian authorities and employers.
