新 Designated area migration agreements (DAMA)簽證讓北領地 (Northern Territory)雇主可以讓擔保持非澳洲籍的基本技術員工 (Semi-skilled overseas workers)。NT DAMA 簽證適用 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa)簽證條款。
NT DAMA 更號稱是史上英文要求最低的雇主擔保,雅思 IELTS 總平均只需 5分,同時閱讀和寫作沒有最低分數限制。

北領地商會主席 Greg Bicknell 表示,「過去的一年裡我們看著許多勞工在申請永居民的過程中因為簽證政策的複雜化導致簽證被拒簽,對於北領地吸引人才來說是一個非常沈重的挑戰。」,他說「Designated area migration agreements (DAMA)將為這些勞工帶來新機會。」
北領地培訓部長 Selena Uibo 表示,「更多的居民將帶來更多的工作機會還有更緊密的社會,同時也代表更多的學校、醫院和警察。」
DAMA II 政策將會持續到2023年。
