Many employers have said they are struggling to attract and retain skilled workers over recent years. This is across a variety of industries such as health, professional services, agriculture, education, specialist services and trades.
Greater Shepparton City Council has partnered with Moira and Campaspe Shires to launch the Goulburn Valley Designated Area Migration Agreement (GV DAMA) with applications now open.
The GV DAMA is a targeted program allowing endorsed employers to access migrant workers. Workers appointed under the DAMA are not replacing local workers; they are filling large gaps in the labour market which have been increasingly holding businesses in our region back. The DAMA will mean that businesses in the region can remain productive, competitive and sustainable into the future.
If your business is actively operating in the Goulburn Valley region and is looking to employ overseas workers with duties that align with one of the Approved Occupations on the GV DAMA list, then you may be eligible to join the agreement.
