    I'm hoping to get a skilled visa of some sort as a remedial massage therapist..
    Ive been on the Aus website but still cant make sense of what visa to get or if I even have a chance

    does anyone know much about my work in Australia or Sponsorship opportunities?

    I think your only option would be to obtain state sponsorship as massage therapist is not on the list for independent residency. You would need to look into what states has this occupation on their list. Your chances of getting employer sponsorship(457) from Ireland would be fairly slim..it is in my opinion the worst visa to be on in Australia anyway as you are tied to one employer.

    Have you already used your working holiday visa or are you over 31?This would be by far the easiet option.
