The best place to start researching your eligibility for an Australian visa, or if you can live and work in Australia is the official Immigration website : http://www.immi.gov.au Some Australian visa categories •Employer sponsored workers •Points-based skilled workers •Point-based skilled workers who have studied in Australia •Students Take a look at the Visa Wizard - http://www.immi.gov.au/visawizard to see what suits you. Good Luck

You don't need to work for a specific company unless they've sponsored you but if you have employer sponsorship, your visa will be processed as the highest priority and could be issued within weeks. The basic and most important requirement is that you have qualifications and experience in an occupation in which Australia needs workers. There are 3 lists of required occupations and which list your occupation is on will determine how long it will take to get a visa and also of course, how easy it will be to find employment once you're here. The most badly needed occupations are on the Critical Skills List (CSL): http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/critical-skills-list.pdf Next is the Migrant Occupations in Demand List (MODL): http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/skilled-occupations/occupations-in-demand.htm Then there's the Skilled Occupations List (SOL). Your occupation must at least be on the SOL for you to be eligible for any work visa even with sponsorship, but if you don't have sponsorship, it won't be enough to get a visa within years of your application: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf Before you can lodge a visa application, you must have your skills recognised by the body responsible for assessment of your occupation: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/a-z.htm#a If you don't have employer sponsorship, you must pass a points test and for all visas, you must meet health and character requirements. For all information, go to the DIAC website: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/
