shawnnny,

Actually it is not that difficult to do it yourself. I have migrated to Melbourne since Mar last year and I applied on my own. Many of us here also did it ourselves. You just have to do some research on www.immi.gov.au and you can get lots of info from the globalmalaysians forum at www.globalmalaysians.com/forum.

texcedo,
What industry are you in? Currently Australia is controlling the number of visa applications. If you are not state/employer sponsored and your skill is not in the critical list, it might takes you quite a while to get it.
