Electrician looking work in perth (with a twist)

[manx_man]

Hello

i am an 26 yr old electrician from the uk with 4 years experience looking to emigrate to perth with my family (wife and 4 month baby). the immigration department says i need seven years experience (even thogh i have my inspection and testing (2391)) to qualify for the skilled workers visa but mentioned something about a business sponsorship visa where an employer will vouch for me. I want to know do i still need 7 years experience for this business visa? other details: my wife has her own beauty saloon (10 years) with 9 therapists working for her do australia encourage these groups of people with another type of visa?

thanks for your help,

Declan
