    Any specific area of IT? Many agencies specialise in certain sectors.

    I found www.ambition.com.au to be excellent. After months of looking for the right role I had 2 offers within 2 days of making contact with these guys.
    I work in BI & Data Warehouse Architecture/DBA fields, they seem particularly well connected in these sectors.

    Drop Declan a line in Visafirst. They assist with IT placements and get you free flights to Australia if they handle the placement. They typically have employers hiring directly so you won't have your salary savaged by recruiter fees every month. Dclune@visafirst.com
    A friend of a friend,

    Declan does and does video interviews but from what I understand it can be tricky getting sponsorship if employers have t even met you yet.

    I know a friend that knew her skills were in demand (programmer), did interviews with recruiters, got job offer and then dropped it on them she didn't have the visa. They decided to hire and sponsor.
    Very risky though.
