@ae12: based on my observation lang, Sydney and Melbourne are usually more ideal for IT opportunities para sa mga PRs. According to a recruiter in Canberra, she said there are some government offices that will accept PRs but for smaller roles and some of these are not even advertised.
I am not sure if you can check the occupation quota for an individual state, but you can view the occupation ceiling numbers in skillselect. Go to the skillselect site <a href="">http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/</a> then go to Reports > Occupation Ceilings.
