澳洲NSW Orana DAMA指定区域移民协议:2026年雇主担保路径与申请流程

Orana指定区域移民协议(Orana DAMA)是澳大利亚联邦政府与Regional Development Australia Orana(RDA Orana)签订的雇主担保类协议。新南威尔士州指定区域内的雇主,在无法从本地劳动力市场招到人时,可以通过协议约定的渠道担保海外员工。这个项目由雇主发起,海外求职者需要先找到愿意担保且符合条件的雇主。截至2026年10月,官方职业清单列有129个可担保职业,并为部分职业提供经验、年龄、薪资和英语方面的优惠,具体适用条件因职业而异。:white_check_mark:源[1] :white_check_mark:源[2] :white_check_mark:源[3]

Orana DAMA为地区雇主提供特定的担保渠道

DAMA是Designated Area Migration Agreement的简称,即指定区域移民协议。它由联邦政府与指定区域代表(Designated Area Representative,DAR)签订,Orana DAMA的指定区域代表是RDA Orana。RDA Orana强调优先让澳洲人就业,同时承认地区确实需要在本地招不到人的职位上引进海外员工。:white_check_mark:源[1] :white_check_mark:源[3]

该协议覆盖Orana、Central West、Southern Inland、Murray和Riverina五个RDA区域,并按地方政府区(LGA)划定范围。雇主必须在这些区域内有实际营业场所,业务活动也在指定区域内,所申请的职位必须位于其在区域内的业务范围。:white_check_mark:源[3] :white_check_mark:源[7]

482、186、494和191对应不同的申请阶段

官方页面列出两条路径:一条是Skills in Demand(SID,482)临时签证,之后可走Employer Nomination Scheme(ENS,186)永居签证;另一条是Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional(SESR,494)临时(provisional)签证,之后可申请Permanent Residence Skilled Regional(PRSR,191)永居签证。482签证现名Skills in Demand签证,较早资料中的TSS(Temporary Skills Shortage)就是它的旧名称。:white_check_mark:源[2] :white_check_mark:源[4] :white_check_mark:源[6]

签证类别 主要用途 后续安排
SID 482劳动协议类别 由符合条件的雇主担保,在澳洲临时工作 符合适用条件时,可由雇主提名申请186永居签证
ENS 186劳动协议类别 通过符合条件的雇主提名申请永久居留 需满足劳动协议及186签证的适用要求
SESR 494 通过地区雇主担保,在指定地区临时工作 符合条件时,可申请191永居签证
PRSR 191 符合相应条件的地区签证持有人申请永久居留 按191签证规定评估,不需要雇主提名

官方说明,在Orana DAMA下持482签证受雇至少两年后,可能获得186永居申请路径;持494签证在该项目下受雇至少三年后,可能符合191永居申请资格,191的申请在DAMA之外办理。这里的工作年限只是条件之一,申请人仍须符合对应签证的法律要求、协议条款及其他适用条件,不能单凭工作时间推定一定获批。:white_check_mark:源[1] :white_check_mark:源[6]

482属于临时签证,具体有效期依签证和劳动协议条件确定。获得临时工作签证不等于已经取得永久居留资格,申请人应确认担保雇主、获批职位、工作地点和签证附加条件。:white_check_mark:源[4]

129个职业覆盖多个行业,部分职业有行业限制

官方职业清单列有129个职业,最近一次更新为2026年4月3日,各职业标注ANZSCO代码、技能等级,以及是否有薪资、英语、年龄优惠。清单覆盖儿童照护(如Child Care Worker)、酒店服务管理(如Hotel or Motel Manager)、护理与残障支持(如Personal Care Assistant)、农业、工程、医疗和教育等领域。:white_check_mark:源[2]

清单还注明了行业限制,自2026年4月1日起生效:养老护理行业的雇主不能通过Orana DAMA使用Aged or Disabled Carer、Nursing Support Worker和Personal Care Assistant这几个职业,残障护理等其他行业的雇主仍可使用;园艺行业的雇主不能使用叉车司机、卡车司机等部分职业;高档餐厅(premium dining restaurant)不能使用Chef、Cook和Cafe or Restaurant Manager。申请前必须逐项核对当前清单及脚注。:white_check_mark:源[2]

申请人可以先从自己的工作经历和职业职责入手,再对照官方职业名称及其ANZSCO代码。职位名称相似,并不自动说明岗位符合要求;实际工作职责、资格、工作经验及技能评估要求都可能影响结果。

优惠不会自动适用,必须由雇主在背书申请中逐项提出,并且因职业而异,有些职业没有任何优惠。年龄方面,技能等级1至4的职业最高可放宽到55岁,技能等级5的职业最高放宽到50岁。英语方面,清单标明可享优惠的职业,可凭雅思总分5.0或同等成绩申请;482和494不设单项最低分,186要求单项不低于4.0。薪资方面,雇主需证明货币收入至少达到TSMIT/CSIT门槛的90%,同时满足相关奖励和当地市场薪资要求。:white_check_mark:源[6]

核对项目 2026年申请时应确认的内容
职业资格 是否列入现行Orana DAMA职业清单,是否受行业限制
工作地点 岗位是否位于指定区域内雇主的实际业务范围
工作经验 是否符合签证及该职业的具体要求,或适用协议优惠
英语能力 该职业是否有英语优惠,以及优惠后的具体标准
薪资条件 是否达到适用的签证门槛、协议优惠要求及当地相应岗位的雇佣条件
技能评估 该职业是否需要指定评估机构出具的评估结果
永居安排 所选签证类别是否提供相应永居路径,以及个人是否满足全部条件

表中项目需要结合职业清单、优惠条件和内政部签证规定逐项确认,DAMA优惠只适用于获准的职业和条件。:white_check_mark:源[2] :white_check_mark:源[5] :white_check_mark:源[6]

雇主必须先取得地区背书再申请劳动协议

Orana DAMA由雇主发起。员工自行投递简历、找到工作或联系RDA Orana,都不能替代雇主的正式申请程序。官方流程主要分为以下阶段。:white_check_mark:源[1]

  • 雇主先阅读项目要求,并与负责的地区RDA预约申请前会面,确认企业资格、拟申请职业是否在现行清单上、劳动力市场测试是否合规,以及各职位需要的优惠。
  • 雇主按清单准备材料,通过邮件向所在地区的RDA提交背书申请表和证明文件。RDA开出发票,收到费用后才开始评估。
  • RDA评估通过后出具背书信。雇主凭背书信通过ImmiAccount向澳大利亚内政部申请劳动协议,内政部不收取这一步的申请费。
  • 劳动协议获批后,雇主按协议中的职业和职位数提交提名申请,并支付提名费及适用的Skilling Australians Fund(SAF)征费,之后获得提名交易参考号。
  • 员工凭提名交易参考号,按对应签证类别提交签证申请。

官方指引称,背书申请递交后,RDA会在10个工作日内提供初步反馈(如有需要);评估通过后,背书信会在10个工作日内发出。背书申请自递交日起三个月内有效,以便补交资料;获批的背书有效期为12个月。内政部会在1至3个月内联系雇主,要求补充资料或通知劳动协议申请结果;协议获批后,雇主有12个月时间提名具体人选。这些时间都是官方流程指引,不是保证期限,背书获批也不等于劳动协议或个人签证必然获批。:white_check_mark:源[1] :white_check_mark:源[9]

企业资格和本地招聘证据是申请重点

申请企业须是已注册的澳洲实体,并在指定区域内实际经营至少12个月;企业还须显示有能力在所申请签证期限内雇用员工,并有遵守相关劳动法规的记录(无不良信息)。所申请的岗位也必须在现行职业清单上。:white_check_mark:源[1] :white_check_mark:源[7]

雇主还需要证明已努力招聘澳洲公民或永久居民,但没能找到合适的本地员工。官方要求提供过去12个月的本地招聘证据,渠道可以包括招聘机构、报纸与行业出版物、招聘网站和Workforce Australia等就业服务。DAMA的背书清单要求,最近12个月内有两则各刊登28天的招聘广告,广告须写明职位名称、所需技能或经验、担保方或招聘机构名称,以及拟定薪资(低于96,400澳元时需写明,可用区间)。具体的广告内容、时长和可接受媒介,仍以内政部适用的劳动力市场测试要求为准。:white_check_mark:源[8] :white_check_mark:源[11]

准备背书申请时,企业需要提供填好的背书申请表、说明业务背景和申请理由的说明信、公司注册证明、过去两年的财务报告、组织架构图和各职位的职位说明、劳动力市场测试证据,以及雇佣合同样本等。:white_check_mark:源[11]

雇主须声明,企业及关联实体过去五年内是否因移民、劳资关系、职业健康安全或儿童安全问题被调查或审计;如有,必须说明原因、处理结果和已采取的整改措施。不良记录可能影响背书,即使获得背书,也不保证内政部批准劳动协议。:white_check_mark:源[9] :white_check_mark:源[11]

雇主与内政部签订的劳动协议为五年期;之后如需增加职业或名额,要向RDA Orana申请变更(variation)背书。:white_check_mark:源[7]

官方费用需要按职位和申请阶段分别计算

RDA Orana的背书费用按职位计算。:white_check_mark:源[10]

项目 官方公布费用
初次背书申请,前5个职位 每个职位990澳元,不含GST
初次背书申请,第6个及之后职位 每个职位550澳元,不含GST
增加职位的协议变更申请 每个职位800澳元,不含GST
小型协议变更(如更换签证类型、增加优惠、将未用名额挪到其他年份) 每个职位500澳元,不含GST

背书费属于预付的处理费,官方标明不可退还。此外还可能产生:部分职业的技能评估费、内政部的提名申请费和签证申请费,以及SAF征费。政府费用以实际递交时内政部公布的收费为准。:white_check_mark:源[10]

海外求职者应先确认雇主和岗位是否符合要求

对于准备通过Orana DAMA赴澳工作的人,最实用的第一步是查阅当前职业清单,再寻找指定区域内真实经营的雇主。求职时应确认雇主是否了解该项目、岗位是否属于可申请职业且不受行业限制,以及企业是否愿意并有条件完成背书、劳动协议和提名程序。个人无法绕过雇主独立申请Orana DAMA签证。:white_check_mark:源[1] :white_check_mark:源[2]

同时,应把临时工作机会与永居规划分开评估。职业清单、英语优惠、年龄条件、薪资安排和永居路径都可能因具体职业及协议条款而异。递交前,雇主应向RDA Orana核实最新职业清单、背书要求和费用,申请人则应对照澳大利亚内政部对应签证类别的现行条件,确认自己的资格与计划中的申请路径相符。

三. DAMA 减让政策(concessions)-飞出国

1.含义:《移民法案》(1958年)和《移民法规》(1994年)规定了雇主提名申请以及雇员签证申请的资格标准。DAMA协议下,RDA Orana和澳洲政府之间就部分标准的改变达成了协议,使得一些不完全符合标准签证申请要求但是能胜任预期角色的雇员能够被灵活录用。针对不同职业的减让政策(concessions)可以参考 二. Orana DAMA 职业清单-飞出国

2. 永久居民(permanent residence)申请途径—Orana DAMA

除酿酒师(234213 Wine Maker)、混合农牧业工人(841611 Mixed Crop and Livestock Farm Worker),Orana DAMA 职业清单上的所有职业,都有机会通过ENS 186 雇主担保签证获得永久居留权 ,前提是在Orana DAMA协议下,持有TSS签证在Orana地区居住和工作满3年。

A. 学历和工作经验要求减让(Qualifications and experience concessions under the Orana region DAMA)

  • 当前Orana DAMA协议下,对于Level 1-3的职业,技能要求没有减免,被提名人必须能够满足他们所申请的实体签证的要求;

  • Orana DAMA 清单上,Level 4的部分职业,以及level 5的职业,有职业技能要求的减免;

B. 临时技术移民收入门槛减让(Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) concessions under the Orana DAMA)

TSMIT值(临时技术移民收入门槛)是由立法确定的,目的是确保移民澳洲的工人可以实现经济上的自给自足。目前TSMIT值是$53,900(不含退休金)。

在计算雇主支付的薪水是否达到TSMIT时,年薪可能包括基本薪金加上保证的收入,例如房屋,公司的汽车和保证的加班费(这是行业标准)。

  • 两个让步:

    • Type 1: 企业必须证明,年度货币收入至少应为TSMIT的90%,同时还必须满足特定职业和地点的奖励要求和年度市场薪资水平预期:

    • Type 2: 企业必须证明货币收入至少为TSMIT的90%,且非货币收入(食宿)不得超过TSMIT的10%,并且总金额至少应等于TSMIT。总收入也必须满足特定职业和地点的奖励要求和年度市场薪资水平预期。

  • 构成非货币收入的规定细则:

    • 福利必须与雇员的实际生活费用有关,如果雇主未支付这些费用,则应由雇员来支付;

    • 收益必须是可衡量的(并且能够被记录/验证);

    • 福利必须在雇佣合同中得到保证,并且必须与其他类似雇员的利益保持一致;

    • 福利不包括无保证的加班费,奖金和佣金。

C. 语言要求减让 (English language concessions under the Orana DAMA)

语言要求是技术移民签证申请人都需要满足的。部分申请人可以豁免语言考试。

在DAMA协议下,部分职业语言要求有让步,具体可参考DAMA职业清单(DAMA Occupation List )。

  • 针对TSS 签证申请人,IELTS(或者等同的澳洲移民局认可的其他语言考试)要求总分/均分不低于5.0且单项不低于4.0。如果提名职业的专业注册需要更高的水平,那么这是首要要求;

  • 针对ENS签证申请人,IELTS(或者等同的澳洲移民局认可的其他语言考试)要求总分/均分不低于5.0且单项不低于4.5。同样,如果提名职业的专业注册需要更高的水平,那么这是首要要求;

寻求某个职业语言要求减让的雇主,需要在其雇主资格申请中提供充分的理由,说明该职业能够接受更低的语言水平的原因。应考虑英语水平较低的工人如何应对工作场所的安全风险。

四. 雇主资格(Employer eligibility)-飞出国

Orana DAMA协议规定,雇主必须在Orana地区有实际业务,经营活动也必须实际的发生在Orana区域内。

Orana地区包括 Bogan Shire, Bourke Shire, Brewarrina Shire, Cobar Shire, Coonamble Shire, Dubbo Region, Gilgandra Shire, Mid-Western Region, Narromine Shire, Warren Shire, Walgett Shire and the Warrumbungle Shire的地方政府区域。

    • 在澳洲境内有注册实体,并且已至少运营12个月;
    • 证明有能力至少在所要求的签证期限内雇用指定雇员;
    • 有遵守所有相关工作场所法规的历史(无不良信息)。
  • DAR在处理雇主申请时,会考虑到雇主的劳动力需求,包括以下因素:

    • 根据雇主当前和未来的劳动力需求来确定Orana DAMA协议下,将认可哪些职业和相应的减让政策;
    • 每个职业以及每个减让可以提名多少个职位。

寻求吸引更多海外工人的企业将需要向Orana DAR申请批准其他职位。

雇主获得的endorsement有效期为1年。

七. 常见问题— FAQs for general DAMA implementation

1. 如果海外技术工人(雇员)签证获批,但一直没有到岗工作怎么办?

  • TSS签证:被提名人必须在登陆澳洲的90天内(如签证获批时在澳洲境外)或者在签证获批的90天内(如签证获批时在澳洲境内)开始工作,雇主需通过邮件或者immiaccount系统告知移民局。否则被提名人将被取消签证。

  • ENS签证:不要求。

2 . 如果海外技术工人(雇员)无法胜任该项工作怎么办?

  • TSS签证:雇主需通过遵循有关绩效的常规“公平工作申诉专员”(FWO)程序,与员工一起努力。如雇主因任何原因终止劳动关系,必须通知移民局。雇员在结束该雇主提供的工作后,需在60天内另寻符合要求的雇主来获得提名和新的签证,否则需要离开澳洲;

  • ENS签证:雇主需通过遵循有关绩效的常规“公平工作申诉专员”(FWO)程序,与员工一起努力。如雇主认为雇员通过提供虚假信息获得签证,应及时报告移民局。

3 . 如雇员在签证到期之前离开怎么办(针对TSS签证)?

雇主需通过邮件或者immiaccount系统告知移民局,雇员在结束该雇主提供的工作后,需在60天内另寻符合要求的雇主来获得提名和新的签证,否则需要离开澳洲。如雇员或任何随行成员违法,雇主需承担找到他们并将其从澳洲驱逐出境的费用。

4 . 如雇员在获得ENS永久签证后立即离开,该怎么办?

可以通知移民局内政部,但是内政部由于没有取消权而无法做任何事情。如果有人要求担保,雇主应将信息提供给内政部。

FAQs for general DAMA implementation

What if the overseas worker’s visa is granted but they never show up/ never start work?
TSS: The nominee must begin employment within 90 days of entry to Australia (if they’re offshore when the visa is granted) or within 90 days of the visa grant date (if they are in Australia when the visa is granted). You must notify the Department of Home Affairs by email or via the ‘Notification of sponsor changes’ form in ImmiAccount. As this is a breach of visa conditions the visa holder will be referred for visa cancellation.

ENS: No action can be taken.

What if the overseas worker can’t do the job?

TSS: You should try and work it out with the employee by following the usual Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) processes regarding performance. If you terminate their employment for any reason you must notify the Department of Home Affairs. The employee has 60 days from the date they finish working with you to find another approved sponsor to nominate them, be granted a different visa or leave Australia. ENS: You should try and work it out with the employee by following the usual Fair Work Ombudsman processes regarding performance. If you think they gained the visa by deception by providing false or misleading information about their skills, qualifications or English level, report them to the Department of Home Affairs.

What if they leave before their visa runs out (TSS only)?

You must notify the Department of Home Affairs by email or via the ‘Notification of sponsor changes’ form in ImmiAccount. The employee has 60 days from the date they finish working with you to find another approved sponsor to nominate them, be granted a different visa or leave Australia. If the visa holder or any of their dependents become unlawful, you might have to pay the cost of locating them and removing them from Australia.

What if they leave as soon as their ENS permanent visa is granted?

You can notify us but there is nothing the Department of Home Affairs can do with no cancellation powers. What if someone approaches me/cold-calls asking me to sponsor them? Don’t get involved. You should provide the information to the Department of Home Affairs via BorderWatch.

Can I take over sponsorship from another employer (TSS only)?

Yes, but only if you are first endorsed by the Designated Area Representative (DAR), have a genuine vacancy, LMT evidence, and have your own labour agreement for the same occupation. You will also need to lodge a nomination application. The visa holder can only start working with you once the nomination has been approved.

Can I get a refund of the endorsement fee if the visa is refused?

No. There are very limited refund grounds.

How long does my endorsement last once granted?

Your endorsement lasts for 12 months from the approval date or until: – The nominee is granted a TSS visa – You withdraw the nomination – Your approval as a sponsor is cancelled – The day on which your labour agreement ceases

If we can nominate workers into semi-skilled/ unskilled occupations, why is the salary threshold still so high?

Temporary residents face higher living expenses than Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents. (for example health insurance costs and international student education costs). Concessions to the current TSMIT may be available for some occupations under a DAMA. These concessions take location, skill level and industry awards into account.

What if our Award has a different rate for food and board deductions (non-monetary earnings components) than what is agreed in the DAMA?

The non-monetary components negotiated in the DAMA indicates the maximum amount that can be deducted from an overseas worker’s earnings. You cannot deduct a larger amount than what is outlined in your Award or in the DAMA.

Is Labour Market Testing required at nomination stage for the permanent residency pathway?

No, but you need to demonstrate that you have a genuine need for a paid employee. This can include evidence that the position has existed but has become vacant, or that the position is currently occupied by a temporary resident.
