Hiya guys ,id have a chat with an agent ,most offer free advice to start with,i'd try Visa Bureau or Go Matilda both are reputable companys.Im pretty sure to gain a visa on a required skill you have to done that job for the last 4 years ,but the rules have all changed lately and some are now confusing for us non experts,lol,,age is on your side so i wouldnt worry too much,good luck

I too have a degree in accounts and im waiting to speak with go matilda. I'll let u know how i get on - think its different now from what it used to be as most people are talking about experience (which I have a bit of but not years and years) The thing is if u enquire early maybe if u do need experience u can start to work on that now. Good luck and let me know how u get on
You need work experience as well as a degree. Read the A-Z occupations list, I suggest. You will not find any skills on it that do not require recent, relevant, post-graduate work experience. There is no way round this that would work in your own case. It is not easy for junior IT staff to get sponsorship at all, let alone when they have no post-grad work experience, I am afraid.
Peter Chiam (ptlabs) is an IT guru himself as well as a Registered Migration Agent. He can tell you exactly what you will need if you bung him some money and send him your CV to date. Please see here:
I was told not to contact anyone until this time next year so by the time I graduate the process will be underway. Im still not sure on the work experience i have to have, one year, 4 years or none .
