Hi Nelson,

Are you being sponsored by an employer? If you are, then your employer should be able to tell you what type of visa they will sponsor you on.

But check out what the following link about the employer sponsored visa options :

As for your tax question, check out the Australian Taxation Office homepage for more information:

http://ato.gov.au/

There is a link on this website that will calculate your tax rate based on what your salary will be.
