You absolutely need a visa to work in Australia! You might want to research the Australia Skilled Visa. The Basic Requirements for an Australia Skilled Visa include: -Age - you must be under 45 when you apply; -English language - you should have sufficient ability in the English language to work in Australia (at least at a vocational level); -Qualifications - you must have post-secondary qualifications and your skills must be assessed by the relevant assessing authority as suitable for your nominated occupation; -Nominated occupation - when you apply you nominate a skilled occupation, which fits your skills and qualifications. Your nominated occupation must be found on the Skilled Occupations List. The list can be found at: http://www.visabureau.com/australia/skilled-occupation-list.aspx -Recent work experience - the period of work experience required will vary depending on the number of points you may be granted for your nominated occupation; -Australian qualification exemption - you do not need to meet the work experience requirement if you have completed an Australian qualification less than 6 months before lodging your visa application; and -Skills assessment - before you apply, you must have your skills assessed by the Australian assessing authority designated to assess your nominated occupation. -Health assessment - you should be of reasonably good health and all applicants must have their health assessed by a panel doctor and undergo a medical examination: http://www.visabureau.com/australia/visa-health-requirements.aspx -Character assessment - you should be of good character and this too will be assessed: http://www.visabureau.com/australia/criminal-record.aspx For more information, read: http://www.visabureau.com/australia/visa-requirement.aspx
