據SBS印地語報道，北領地向117個職業的技術移民敞開了大門，具體工種包括廚師（cook）、家庭日托工作人員（family day care worker）、汽車修理工（motor mechanic）等。
這是澳大利亞政府推出的指定區域移民協議（DAMA）的一部分，旨在緩解悉尼和墨爾本等大城市的人口壓力，併補充一些偏遠地區的勞動力短缺。
這個協議主要針對的是維州的Warrnambool地區和北領地，協議的第二階段已於今年1月1日生效。
移民部長大衛·科爾曼(David Coleman)表示，“政府正在努力改善我們的移民計劃，以更好的滿足各州、領地和地區的需求“，而指定區域移民協議的第二階段正是讓偏遠地區受益的好例子。
科爾曼彊調，“我們的首要任務是讓澳大利亞人填補就業崗位，而移民系統的重要作用是幫助解決地區的的技能短缺”，“很高興繼續與北領地政府合作，幫助解決澳洲人無法填補的工作崗位的用人問題。”
北領地和聯邦政府公布的這117個職業，從會計師到幼兒工作者，從廚師到網頁設計人員，如果僱主無法找到合適的噹地人來填補崗位，那麼他們就可以引入技術移民。
名單上的許多職業都有資格穫得英語水平特許權和臨時技術移民收入門檻特許權。
