STNI is for permanent residency and you're morally obligated to live and work in Victoria for 2 years.
STNI is what you want

I think if I remember I applied as plumber and they classed me general plumber, but then I don't do gas

I've just realised you can't go STNI Victoria but you can go STNI South Australia
I would seriously consider this if I were you as with the SIR there's is no guarentee that you can stay after your initial 3 year term and after 2 yeras you'll have to apply for a STNI anywau as long as you've worked for one of the two years
