Simplifying the Kimberley DAMA Process:
Our 4-Step Roadmap
The Kimberley Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) allows eligible businesses in the Designated Area (including Broome, Kununurra, and Halls Creek) to access occupations and critical concessions not available under standard skilled migration programs.
The process typically involves multiple, distinct legal applications. We leverage our industry-best checklists to turn this complexity into a smooth, intuitive process.
Practical advice with No BS
1. Kimberley DAMA Endorsement & Business Registration
We manage the essential first steps required to access the DAMA. This begins with securing your endorsement from the Designated Area Representative (DAR), the East Kimberley Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EKCCI).
We ensure your business meets the initial legal criteria, including operating in the Designated Area for at least 12 months (unless exceptional circumstances apply) and demonstrating a genuine need for the position.
- We ensure documentation is complete and professionally presented, speeding up DAR processing time.
- We assist with long-term planning to determine the best visa pathways for your workers and business needs.
2. Labour Agreement Request
Once endorsed by the EKCCI, we apply for the Labour Agreement directly with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA).
This legally binding agreement specifies the occupations, positions, and any concessions (like age limits or salary thresholds) your business can access for up to five years.
- Labour Market Testing (LMT) Support: We guide you through the Labour Market Testing requirements, ensuring robust evidence of local recruitment attempts is compiled and current.
- Transparency on Obligations: We provide clear information on the obligations and responsibilities for your business as the approved sponsor.
3. Nomination Application
With the Labour Agreement in place, we handle the critical step of nominating your specific overseas worker for the pre-approved position.
This is where expert knowledge counts. Our agent Nicholas Ivanoff, who previously employed visa holders, is open and transparent about the process and provides advice based on real-world experience and data.
- Applicant Qualification: We correctly qualify the applicant, ensuring they meet the necessary skills, education, and experience for a successful visa grant, including guidance on skills assessments if required.
- Avoid Common Mistakes: Our refined systems and expertise ensure you do not make common and costly mistakes that could impact timeframes or result in application failure.
4. Rigorous Visa Application
We partner with both your business and your skilled migrant to select and lodge the most appropriate visa (SID 482, SESR 494, or ENS 186).
We work hard to ensure we rarely receive requests for information from the DHA, meaning less hassle and less anxiety for you.
- Easy Communication: Enjoy easy access to our migration agents who are familiar with your specific case, streamlining all communication.
- Seamless Admin: Your admin team will love us; we refine systems to get multiple processes completed efficiently with our concise, intuitive checklists.
