Oz as has been said you need to do the points thing. Skills they are looking for at the moment (well, they were 6 months ago) are skilled/experienced ATPL holders (esp 737 rated people), IT skills, Medical, Electronic skills - ie engineering etc. Apply and see what happens. One Scottish guy applied a few years ago and got the visa 4 months later. (Electronics engineer - now helicopter pilot)
