Australian NT Drops the Requirements for Low Skilled Migrants to Get PR

Beginning this month, the current Designated Area Migration Agreement (D.A.M.A) of Northern Territory came into force, significantly dropping the conditions for low skilled migrants seeming to apply for PR.

The Immigration Department has published a skilled profession list for people who intend to take a role in the program, which gives a permanent residency pathway for workers who continue in the N.T for minimum three years.

Northern Territory’s new Designated Area Migration Agreement

The contract was made part of a wider strategy by the Australian government to support re-distribute migrant population of  Australia outside of important cities such as Melbourne and Sydney. The D.A.M.A will appeal to 117 different professions and is designed to bring migrants to the regional areas of Australia.

Many of the professions on the D.A.M.A skilled profession list are also qualified for exceptions to the English language and  Threshold of temporary Skilled Migration Income (T.S.M.I.T) requirements normally connected with skilled migration program of Australia.

The Department of Immigration has shortlisted the following 117 professions as experiencing skill shortages:

The Citizenship, Immigration, and Multicultural Affairs Minister, David Coleman, praised the new program, stating that it will help employers in the Australian rural areas.

The Government is running to reform our immigration program to properly match the requirements of our territories, states,  and regional areas. Our priority is regularly to fill positions with Australians, but the system of immigration can play an essential role in encouraging to address regional skills gaps, Coleman announced. The N.T has observed first-hand the advantages of utilizing a DAMA to answer to their unique workforce deficits.

The  Michael Gunner, NT Chief Minister, also recommended the DAMA’s launch, stating that the offer of Australia PR would be a great incentive for migrants to live in the state.

The N.T has a long and impressive migration history of overseas citizens, and they have been a critical contributor to the growth of the economy, social diversity and population growth. This new contract will support that to continue, he told.
