The South Australia Government has entered into a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) with the federal government, which was announced last month.
This agreement is to help businesses and other employers find skilled overseas workers for sectors facing skill shortages.
South Australia will have two DAMAs.
First covers the Adelaide Metropolitan region.
A statement by the Migration SA says there are 60 occupations on the Adelaide Innovation and Technology Agreement which supports the Adelaide City Deal.
"Concessions offered on this agreement address specific challenges including, attracting a skilled workforce by offering pathways for permanent residency in South Australia."
The second DAMA known as the South Australian Regional Workforce Agreement is the Designated Area Migration Agreement that covers the entire state of South Australia. There are 114 occupations on this agreement.
"There are 114 occupations on the South Australian Regional Workforce Agreement which provides employers in key regional growth industries of agribusiness, health and aged care, hospitality and tourism, mining and construction sectors with the ability to access and retain a skilled workforce," Migration SA says.
Further details relating to the DAMA application process and how to apply will be released by 1 July 2019.
