古本谷 DAMA

Goulburn Valley 指定區域移民協議 (GV DAMA) 是專為滿足澳洲維多利亞州 Goulburn Valley 區域獨特的勞動力市場需求而設計的特殊移民途徑。該地區包括大謝帕頓區（Greater Shepparton）、坎帕斯普區（Campaspe）和莫伊拉郡（Moira Shire）。Goulburn Valley DAMA 於 2021 年 12 月推出，旨在協助當地雇主填補重要的技術短缺，允許區域內的企業保薦技術和半技術海外勞工擔任標準技術移民計劃通常無法提供的職位。

此協議是澳洲政府與擔任指定區域代表（DAR）的大謝帕頓市議會（Greater Shepparton City Council）之間的合作計畫。Goulburn Valley DAMA 提供更廣泛的職業範圍和更靈活的標準，如英語能力、年齡和薪資門檻方面的優惠，為該地區的特定勞動力需求提供了量身定制的解決方案。

企業使用 DAMA 的資格要求是什麼？

本核對表是僱主決定是否有資格參加 GV DAMA 計劃的指南。一些需要考慮的關鍵點包括：您的企業是否位於 GV 地區、企業是否已在 GV 地區合法營運超過 1 年，以及是否已符合提名和贊助的要求。雖然您對這些問題的回答可能是肯定的，而且您很可能有資格參加 GV DAMA 計畫，但這只是指示性的，因為最終還是要由決策機構來批准您的申請。

如何評估企業？ 

DAR 的背書程序獨立於內政部的程序。尋求背書的企業需填寫一份聲明書，表明他們將滿足 DAR 背書的要求，並在勞動協定申請階段和/或提名階段向民政事務部提供詳細證據，以支持其聲明。 

為了讓 DAR 能夠認可某項請求，DAR 需要滿足以下條件： 

• 可提供所要求的職業和所尋求的優惠 
• 該年度尚未達到整體 DAMA 的最高上限。 
• 就該地區目前的勞動市場狀況而言，這些優惠是合理的 
• 核准的職業已在申請中確定 
• 該請求支持 DAMA 中概述的目標；且 
• 雇主已填寫申報表 

如果 DAR 對僱主的情況有疑慮，DAR 可以在認為必要時要求僱主澄清或提供資訊。 

此保證可申請哪些簽證？ 

The DAMA program utilises the Skills in Demand visa (SID), subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional), and subclass 186 Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS) visa programs.

有哪些優惠？ 

Salary (CSIT/TSMIT) Concession

An employer has to show that the salary offered to a prospective overseas worker is at least what an Australian citizen or permanent resident could expect doing the same job in the same location. The minimum threshold, the Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT) for Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) and Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) sponsorships, or the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) for Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa (subclass 494) sponsorships, must be paid. Concessions to CSIT/TSMIT are available for employers for occupations listed in the Table of Approved Occupations, however there must be a strong business case provided to support a CSIT/TSMIT concession. 

英語優惠 

英語語言優惠適用於核准職業列表中所列的職業。以下英語測驗的同等成績也可接受：

• 職業英語測驗 (OET) 
• 英語作為外語的互聯網測試 (TOEFL iBT) 
• Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academica 測試；或 
• 劍橋英語高級 (CAE) 測試

流程是什麼？

步驟 1： 尋求一個或多個職業/職位的認可

雇主必須首先獲得指定區域代表 (DAR) 的認可。Greater Shepparton 市議會是 GV DAMA 的 DAR。此請求可針對單一或多個職業/職位提出。簽注申請將在大約 7-10 個工作日內得到評估。值得注意的是，每個申請的職位都需要支付背書費。如果雇主獲得背書，DAR 隨後將向雇主和內政部提供背書信函。 

步驟 2：申請勞工協議（有效期為 5 年）

一旦僱主獲得認可，他們便可透過民政事務部的 ImmiAccount 系統提交網上申請，以獲取 GV DAMA 勞務協議。勞動協議將規定獲批准的職業和職位數量，以及對標準技術移民標準的優惠。勞工協議的有效期最長為 5 年。

步驟 3：提名個別海外勞工 

然後，雇主可以提名海外工人，但不得超過其勞動協議中規定的人數限制，這些提名是根據勞動協議流程進行的，該流程與雇主勞動協議中的優惠措施相聯繫。這些提名可使用 DAR 認可的 GV DAMA 優惠。此程序將產生與相關簽證和勞動協議流相關的標準政府費用。

還應注意的是，海外勞工的直系親屬也可列入提名範圍。

步驟 4：海外工作人員/人士申請簽證 

Once a nomination has been approved, the overseas worker can then apply for their visa. The Skills in Demand (SID subclass 482) visa is valid for up to four years. Once the overseas worker has been employed on a Skills in Demand visa under the GV DAMA for at least three years, they may have access to Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS subclass 186) visa. The Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR subclass 494) visa is a provisional visa valid for five years that may provide a pathway to a permanent visa after 3 years under a visa outside of the Labour Agreement. 

技能評估 

簽證申請人或其指定代表有責任按要求將其技能交由指定的技能評估機構進行評估。根據 DAMA 計劃，DAR 無責任認證簽證申請人的技能或經驗。 

以下技能評估機構適用： 

• 對於沒有技能和經驗的職業，通常可透過技術移民計劃獲得優惠，請參閱 此處。 
• VETASSESS(Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services) 是特定職業的技能評估機構。 
• MINTRAC（全國肉類行業訓練諮詢委員會有限公司）是針對肉類行業職業的技能評估。
