This "should" speed up the visa app.
Get your TRA done first http://workplace.gov.au/TRA
Then you can apply as a skilled migrant if you have 120 points or more then go for 136 skilled independent visa .
Tra Can be as quick as 6-7 weeks or up to 3-6months if you pay the higher amount then should be less than 3 months,
Main apps are taking 3-6 months at the moment.
All these time can change and do Good Luck.

If you want to migrate you need to get your migration visa organised *before* you make any move.
Look at the information on http://www.immi.gov.au
Even if you get the job offer you are talking about, you'll need a work permit to work in Australia, and even with such a permit you'll need to work out a way to get permanent residence otherwise you'll face coming home when the job ends. Many employers will not sponsor for permanent visas - only temporary ones.
You'll get more of a response if you ask immigration questions on the immigration forum, but on a free forum like this you can't necessarily expect a response within 2 hours.
