Work in Australia with DAMA Visa: Low IELTS, High Salary (2025 Update)
For many Indonesian workers, getting a job in Australia used to sound like an impossible dream. Strict English tests, complicated visa requirements, and high costs made it inaccessible for most. But now, a unique opportunity is opening up under a little-known but powerful scheme: the DAMA visa program.
DAMA—short for Designated Area Migration Agreement—allows employers in regional Australia to sponsor foreign workers in sectors like farming, hospitality, aged care, cleaning, and meat processing. The biggest benefit? You can qualify with IELTS as low as 4.5.
✅ Why Choose DAMA?
- ✅ No high-level English test needed (IELTS 4.5 accepted)
- ✅ Legally work in remote or regional areas
- ✅ Equal hourly pay as locals (AUD 23–32/hour)
- ✅ Can lead to Permanent Residency (PR)
- ✅ Sponsor can cover visa paperwork
🧠Who is DAMA for?
If you’re not a university graduate but have working experience—or you're willing to do hard, honest work—this visa is made for you. DAMA covers jobs like:
- Farm worker (fruit picking, cattle station)
- Kitchen hand / cleaner / food packer
- Aged care and disability support assistant
- Meat processing laborer
💼 How Much Can You Earn?
Depending on your job and location, you can earn AUD 4,000–6,000/month (before tax). That’s equal to around IDR 40–60 million. After rent and meals, many workers save more than 30 million per month—legally.
🚀 How to Apply (Step-by-Step)
- Prepare a simple resume in English
- Check DAMA regions that are still open (Northern Territory, South Australia, etc.)
- Look for employers with job vacancies (online or via agents)
- Apply and mention you are interested in DAMA-sponsored work
Make sure you meet basic criteria: valid passport, age under 45, basic English, and good health. Many Indonesian candidates already work in Australia legally under this scheme—why not you?
📌 Pro Tips:
- 💬 Start preparing for your IELTS early—even if it's basic.
