South Australia DAMA Extension: What the 2-Year Lifeline Means for Employers & Skilled Workers

By Saurabh Smar, Registered Migration Agent (MARN 1802044) & Lawyer – Global Vision Migration

Why This Matters

1. Certainty for business. You’ve gained a 12-month window to keep sponsoring critical occupations under the current rules.
2. Quicker pathways = stickier talent. Cutting the PR wait to two years makes South Australia more attractive than ever.
3. Watch the ILA overlap. If your role appears on an Industry Labour Agreement, you must use that stream after 1 July 2025—plan ahead.
