This scheme allows for the selection of certain sets of skilled people, who are needed within Australia. The most highly qualified people with the most in demand skills will usually get priority.

The general rule is that, the more qualified you are, the more likely you will be to get permanent residency. Conversely, the lower the skill set, the less likely you will be able to get permanent residency. However, Australia does take into account for the need for certain lower skill sets in regional areas. This roughly means that the further away from a major city you are, the lesser the skills you need. Also, if a specific employer has need for your skills, they may be able to sponsor you to work with them for up to four years, or even nominate you for permanent residency.

Please look at the consolidated skilled occupation list to see which occupations are in demand. This group of visas contains both temporary and permanent residence visas. The temporary visas usually allow applicants a certain amount of time within the country working up their skill sets, after which many people are then able to transition to a permanent residency visa.
