If you are interested in permanently migrating to Australia, than Tasmania could be the most convenient way to achieve this.

Tasmania has introduced a new pathway for overseas applicants planning to migrate to Australia on a permanent basis. You may have options in Tasmania even if your occupation does not fall into the Skilled Occupation List (please contact us for more information). Tasmania offers State Migration Plan and Consolidated Skilled Occupations Lists (CSOL). This visa will allow many skilled professionals, due to the wider occupation spectrum, to migrate to Australia.
