SUMMARY:FNQ DAMA Information Session for Employers in Cassowary Coast Region
DESCRIPTION:COMING TO INNISFAIL! 1 SESSION ONLY!\n\n\n\nCairns Chamber of Commerce Migration Manager Geoff Heath invites Cassowary Coast Region Employers to this free\, in-person information session\, on the Far North Queensland Designated Area Migration Agreement\, otherwise known as the FNQ DAMA. \n\n\n\nThe FNQ DAMA is a skilled migration program that is tailored to meet the unique workforce needs of Far North Queensland.
