為希望能平分到澳洲定居的新移民，鼓勵他們前往雪梨及墨爾本以外的地區居住，澳洲政府早前推出新計劃以吸引新移民前往較偏遠的地區居住。
該個名為「指定區域移民協議」（Designation Area Migration Agreements；DAMA）的計劃，目前暫只適用於兩個地區 － 維州 Warrnambool 及北領地；旨在應對當地勞動力短缺及人口不足等問題。
北領地早前已推行第一階段的 DAMA 計劃，第二階段則已在本年 1 月 1 日起生效。
移民部長高文（David Coleman）表示，政府正努力改善澳洲本地之移民計劃，以更有效地滿足各州、各領地及各地區的需求，而 DAMA 計劃的第二階段正是讓偏遠地區受益的一個最佳例證。
他說：「我們的首要目標是讓本地人優先填補職位空缺，但與此同時移民系統的重要作用就是協助解決當地技術人才短缺的問題。」
