The Orana Designated Area Migration Agreement covers a vast swathe of western and central New South Wales — from Dubbo and Orange to Bathurst, Mudgee, Parkes, Forbes, Cowra, Wellington and beyond. For eligible childcare centre directors, it provides a powerful international recruitment pathway that most have never explored.

WHAT THE ORANA DAMA COVERS

Occupation lists, eligibility and any concessions vary by agreement and change over time. Check the current Orana DAMA occupation list with a registered migration agent before planning an early childhood role around it.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS FOR NSW CHILDCARE CENTRES

Step 1: Obtain endorsement from the Orana DAR (Regional Development Australia Orana). Step 2: Apply for Standard Business Sponsorship with the Department of Home Affairs. Step 3: The sponsored educator applies for their visa through a registered migration agent (MARN).

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

Vhire connects centres with registered migration agent partners. Vhire is not a migration agent and doesn't give visa advice.

HOW VHIRE HELPS ORANA DAMA-ELIGIBLE NSW CENTRES

Vhire connects centres with registered migration agent partners and sources qualified educators, including international candidates, for centres to consider. Eligibility questions sit with the migration agent.
