The 123 Migration Approach: Simple, Professional, Comprehensive

We understand you want clarity, reliability, and speed. Our process is built on over 10 years of migration expertise and systems designed to make life easy for your HR or Admin team.

We turn the typically five-stage DAMA process into a smooth, streamlined journey.

Practical advice with No BS

Simplified work flow

1. Endorsement and Labour Agreement: Get Started with Confidence

Accessing the DAMA requires a formal agreement between your business and the Commonwealth. We handle the critical first steps, ensuring your business is correctly positioned for success, right here in the Shire of Dardanup region.

  • DAR Endorsement: We assist you in applying for the crucial South West DAMA Endorsement from the Shire of Dardanup, providing the required business documents and confirming Good Corporate Citizen status.
  • Labour Agreement Setup: We apply for the formal Labour Agreement directly with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) on your behalf, setting the foundation for future nominations and access to concessions.
  • Concession Optimisation: We align your application to access available concessions, including reductions for the minimum salary (TSMIT), English language requirements, and age limits where applicable for your nominated occupations.

2. Expert Nomination and Applicant Qualification

This stage is where accuracy truly matters; mistakes can be costly and impact timeframes. We apply our robust systems to correctly qualify both the position and the applicant.

  • LMT Guidance: We provide comprehensive assistance and checklists for Labour Market Testing (LMT) requirements, ensuring you demonstrate genuine efforts to recruit Australians before proceeding with sponsorship.
  • Applicant Pre-Qualification: We correctly qualify your prospective employees, determining if they possess the necessary skills, education, and experience for successful visa grants, including guidance on skills assessments if required.
  • Clear Obligations: We provide clear information on the obligations and responsibilities for both your business (the sponsor) and the visa applicant, ensuring transparency and compliance from day one.

3. Seamless Visa Application & Long-Term Planning

We manage the final application stages to achieve your desired outcome: a permanent, skilled workforce.

  • Triple-Check Assurance: Your application receives a comprehensive legal check and is triple-checked by our team of professionals before submission. This meticulous quality control means we rarely receive requests for Information (RFIs) from the DHA.
  • Risk Transparency: We won’t submit an application unless we are 95% confident of an approval, or unless we have advised you of the risks and you instruct us otherwise. We will always tell you the risks upfront.
  • Permanent Residency Pathway: We assist with long-term planning, noting that all DAMA visa holders have a pathway to Permanent Residency (PR), such as the subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) after two years on a 482 visa.
