Labour Agreements & DAMAs
Unlock Visa Access for Regional and Hard-to-Fill Roles
When standard visa programs don’t meet your workforce needs, a Labour Agreement or Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) can offer a customised solution. Resource Visa, we work with employers across Australia to access these powerful but underused visa pathways — especially in regional areas, offshore environments, and specialist industries where skill shortages are most severe.
What Is a Labour Agreement?
A Labour Agreement is a formal arrangement between an employer and the Australian Government that allows access to:
- Occupations not listed on the Core Skills Occupation List
- Modified English, salary, or age requirements
- Permanent residency pathways under Subclass 186
- Visa options for lower-level or regionally based roles
Types include:
- Company-Specific Labour Agreements
- Industry Labour Agreements (e.g. meat, dairy, fishing)
DAMA Agreements (regional schemes negotiated by local authorities)
Ideal for Employers Who:
If you're unable to fill key roles due to standard visa limits, operate in regional areas, or need skilled workers with non-traditional qualifications, tailored visa pathways can help you hire and retain talent long-term.
- Can’t fill critical roles under standard visa lists
- Operate in remote, regional, or offshore locations
- Need access to occupations like deckhands, riggers, supervisors, fabricators, or cooks
- Employ workers with skills but non-standard qualifications
Want to support long-term residency for niche roles
