Adelaide Metropolitan Designated Area Migration Agreement
The Adelaide City Technology and Innovation Advancement Agreement is the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) for the Adelaide Metropolitan region (Greater Adelaide).
This DAMA recognises South Australia’s commitment to becoming a world-class centre for space, defence and innovation. Skilled migrants will complement and expand our local talent and skill-base to grow our future industries, fill important workforce gaps which cannot be met locally, and create jobs.
