The Department of Home Affairs has announced some significant changes to South Australia’s DAMA programme. This includes the arrival of new occupations to the skilled occupation list as well as other major changes to the current immigration policies that surrounds the state of South Australia.
New Occupation list
The updated occupational list includes new professions in health care, manufacturing, high-tech sectors, agribusiness and food production.
All DAMA occupations listed will now offer a permanent residency pathway either through the Temporary Skill Shortage visa or the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa.

Skills Assessing Authority
The South Australian Government can now act as a skills assessing authority for occupations that require a skills assessments. The decision came as some occupations do not have other governing bodies that can provide skills assessments.
As a result, previously ineligible occupations can now be available for skilled migration, ensuring workers filling those positions are appropriately skilled.
Concessions and PR Pathways
South Australia has secured additional English language and age concessions, which will now carry over to the permanent visa. The changes to work experience requirements for a number of occupations will make it easier for qualified international graduates to be eligible to apply.
