I would like to know more about IT jobs :=) dyman, you can apply under General Skilled Migration program. You need to have 120 points to be qualified for this program. You can assess qualification at http://www.liveinaustralia.com/home/visa_assessments.asp It usually takes from 8-12 months for the process. I suggest not to waste money on Migration Agent. If you need more, feel free to email me :=) you can find all the information on DIMA website: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/index.htm
