The Goldfields Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) has been very important for improving the economy and workforce in regional Western Australia. It has helped local businesses hire skilled workers from other countries for jobs that couldn’t be filled locally, filling important skill gaps in fields like construction, healthcare, and hospitality.
The Goldfields DAMA will officially become the Western Australia DAMA (WA DAMA) on April 4, 2026, as part of the Department of Home Affairs’ (DOHA) effort to create a unified migration strategy across the state.
The goal of this change is to make things easier, get more employers involved, and make regional migration pathways more consistent. This change marks the end of an era for the Goldfields DAMA, but it also opens the door to more cooperation, long-term sustainability, and more opportunities for both employers and skilled workers.
