为希望能平分到澳洲定居的新移民，鼓励他们前往雪梨及墨尔本以外的地区居住，澳洲政府早前推出新计划以吸引新移民前往较偏远的地区居住。
该个名为「指定区域移民协议」（Designation Area Migration Agreements；DAMA）的计划，目前暂只适用于两个地区－ 维州Warrnambool 及北领地；旨在应对当地劳动力短缺及人口不足等问题。
北领地早前已推行第一阶段的 DAMA 计划，第二阶段则已在本年 1 月 1 日起生效。
移民部长高文（David Coleman）表示，政府正努力改善澳洲本地之移民计划，以更有效地满足各州、各领地及各地区的需求，而DAMA 计划的第二阶段正是让偏远地区受益的一个最佳例证。
他说：「我们的首要目标是让本地人优先填补职位空缺，但与此同时移民系统的重要作用就是协助解决当地技术人才短缺的问题。」
