Great News for Regional NSW: Orana DAMA Variation Approved!
Skilled Migration Made Easier Across 53 Local Government Areas
We are thrilled to announce that the Australian government has approved a variation to the Orana Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA)! This is fantastic news for businesses and skilled migrants seeking opportunities in regional New South Wales.
What Does the Orana DAMA Variation Mean for You?
The variation brings about two key improvements:
Geographical Expansion: The Orana DAMA will now encompass an additional 41 local government areas across inland NSW. This includes the RDA regions of Riverina, Murray, Southern Inland, and Central West.
Increased Occupation List: The number of occupations covered by the Orana DAMA will expand to 129. This wider range of occupations will allow businesses in 53 local government areas to access a more diverse pool of skilled workers.
What's Next?
The Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana will provide further details on the variation in their upcoming newsletters. In the meantime, you can visit their website for any recent updates.
