Really looking for advice on Visas as I am concerned I may not get one,

I've just graduated with a Health Studies Bsc but haven't found work since graduating in my area. I'm a single mum with dd (7) and the way life is set up here I am stuck unable to find work that wouldn't leave me dropping her off at 7am and picking her up at 6:30pm to work in a role over an hour away by car. I know lots of people do this, but the idea behind getting the degree was to work closer to home. Unfortunately, all of the budget cuts seem to have taken away any graduate entry jobs in my town. Before I was pg with dd I had high level office skills (PA/Legal secretarial for appx 10 years), but have since not worked - other than the recent 3yr degree.

I am in a very fortunate position where I own my own house that I rent out and am living mortgage free in another. I intend to sell the other house (worth appx £420-450k) and rent this one out for extra income when we are over there (probably via a managing agent). Houses in my area have an appx rental value of £1.5k pm. I also have appx 30k in savings. Does any of this help with 'stability' factor into the visa point system?

I have looked at the skilled visas and found I can do Health Promotion and several of the more administration based jobs on it. My question is, if I apply using one but fall back on the other would that break the visa? Or if I find I can happily live working in a part-time role not on the skills list (with the rental income) would that break the terms of the visa?

TIA!

I've been looking at jobs and found Administration Officer to the Office of the Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer - which combines both skill sets. How can I find out if this is under the skilled visa band? Or would it be better to go over on the Graduate Work Stream? I'm unsure as to whether to apply for jobs here to get the visa or apply for the visa then look at jobs when I am there?

This is what you need. Criteria shift, though not not on a monthly basis:

I am sad that they've changed their internet name, used to immi.gov.au sooooo Australian
