Hows Australia (VB Wise)?

I think we are in a pretty privileged position in the IT industry right now.
Most industrialised nations are crying out for people with software
development skills. Like many other nations, the government here in the UK
this year relaxed work permit restrictions for IT skilled people. It's a
situation that may not last, and I intend to take advantage of the
opportunities to travel that my skills afford me in the not too distant
future.
As for Australia, word of mouth tells me that there is demand for
developers, but centred more around Melbourne and Brisbane.

Hello

I'm doing a Diploma in IT (Software Development) at a TAFE in Melbourne.
The feeling I get from my fellow students is that the job market here in
Melbourne for IT is shrinking.

Certainly there are jobs in IT but it looks like you need the right
experience (and know the right people) to get a job here.
