Request for List of Companies Offering Visa Sponsorship under DAMA or Labour Agreement in Australia (2025
Dear Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request information regarding the list of companies in Australia that are offering visa sponsorship to skilled workers under the Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) or Labour Agreements for the year 2025.
As a skilled professional seeking employment opportunities in Australia, I am particularly interested in understanding which employers have been approved under these agreements to sponsor overseas workers in my field. If possible, I would appreciate receiving a comprehensive list of these companies, along with details of the designated regions and occupations covered under these agreements.
Please advise if there are any specific procedures or requirements I need to follow to obtain this information. I would be grateful if you could provide the details via email or direct me to the relevant official resources where I can access the latest updates on this matter.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully,
Omer Mirajkar

FOI Request: LEX 12316
Dear Omer Mirajkar,
Thank you for your email dated 24 March 2025 seeking access to documents
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
The purpose of this email is to advise you that part of your request has
been transferred to Department of Home Affairs.
Under section 16(1) of the FOI Act, where the document is not in the
possession of the department but is ... in the possession of another
agency, the agency to which the request is made, may with the agreement of
the other agency, transfer the request to the other agency or where the
subject-matter of the document is more closely connected with the
functions of another agency than with those of the agency to which the
request was made, the agency to which the request is made, may with the
agreement of the other agency, transfer the request to the other agency.
The department has therefore transferred your request to the Department of
Home Affairs who are in possession of the documents.
We received your request on 24 March 2025 and the 30 day statutory period
for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. The
transfer of your request does not affect the due date for completion of
your request. You should therefore expect a decision from agency by 23
April 2025. However, the statutory period of 30 days may be extended if
agency needs to consult third parties or for other reasons. The Department
of Home Affairs will advise you if this happens.
Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to
contact us by return e-mail at [1][DFAT request email]
Regards,
Aaron
