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.
