The first step before you can even apply for a GSM visa is to obtain a positive skills assessment from the ACS.

According to their current guidelines, for a positive migration skills assessment, they will demand 4 years of professional level experience in addition to your degree/s.
The guidelines state:
"2.2.8. Applicants in Group A must have at least four (4) equivalent years of full-time relevant ICT experience at professional level prior to the date of their application for Pre Application Skills Assessment (PASA)."

You should also be aware that Computing Professional - Computer Systems Auditor 2231-21 is not on the CSL or even the MODL and under current visa processing priorities you would have a lengthy wait for a visa (3+ years) after you lodge your application. Priorities will certainly change over the next few years, but it's reasonable to assume that Systems Auditor will continue to be considered a lower priority than some other specialties.

Go to http://www.workpermit.com

There you can do the on-line entrance test to see if you will be admitted. If you fail you can imput dummy data to see what you need to do in order to gain admission.

Your lack of practical experience might be your weakness.

Had the same problem, you need to have at least three years 'on the job'. IMO the IT market is flooded over here at the moment (AUS). The other option would be sponsorship. I know a few people that found it easier to come across on a Working Tourist Visa, get a job and seek sponsorship within by being brilliant. The only visa worth having is a permanent residency otherwise you risk having to leave if unemployed.

The hardest part is trying to find the correct information out. Some migration agencies will just say yes to everything and charge just for meeting up - this is point less. Best to contact a Australian based law firm that specialise in migration and get real in country correct advice.

You pay for what you get!

Once you know the best course of action, there is no need to have a migration agent, it is relatively straight forward to do the paper work. Expect to spend months with no word from the Australian Immigration department, and no way of contacting them directly - this is just the way it is! We did find emails were responded to, but often took a few weeks.

Hope this helps....
