New five year migration agreement set to help boost NT population
New five year migration agreement set to help boost NT population - Flow of skilled migrants to NT will continue, with signing of five year bilateral agreement to help employers fill skills shortages
The Federal Government and Northern Territory Government will this week sign a new five year Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA), ahead of the expiration of the first, groundbreaking DAMA between the two jurisdictions on December 31.
The current DAMA between the Federal and NT Governments was the first in Australia where a broader range of shortage occupations was available than those identified in standard skilled migration programs.
DAMA II will offer the further incentive of a pathway to permanent residency for DAMA visa holders, in a bid to attract more skilled migrants to the Territory and help boost its population.

Interesting. How would a person access the services to process papers for this outside of Australia?
