Hi mark
Still looking for Truck drivers jobs but it’s difficult, the DAMA looks the best bet but trying to get a company to sponsor is not easy

Hi Stuart,
Yeah, securing employer sponsorship can be tricky, but the DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) route does open up more opportunities, especially in regional areas.
Western Australia has a DAMA that covers certain regional areas, including the Goldfields, the South West, and the Pilbara. Checking and trick driver is available on the WA DAMA
Some transport companies operating in these regions may be able to sponsor truck drivers under DAMA provisions, which often offer concessions on standard visa requirements like English language skills and salary thresholds.
If you haven’t already, I’d recommend looking into the WA DAMA and identifying employers operating within these regional agreements. A good place to start is by checking with local councils and industry bodies in these regions. You can also keep an eye on 482jobs.com, where all listed jobs come with visa sponsorship. Additionally, searching on Seek.com.au and Indeed.com.au for transport companies based in DAMA-covered areas might yield some leads.
If you’re open to locations outside Perth, you may have better luck in regional transport hubs where demand for skilled drivers is higher. Let me know if you need help finding specific areas or companies!
Cheers, Mark

All good mate. Best of luck. A multi pronged approach is probably the best when it comes to securing truck driver jobs in Australia offering Visa sponsorship.
They are out there but they can also be a bit of a needle in a haystack sometimes.
Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
Cheers
Mark
