Welcome to the forum and BE. Sorry, but I'm a bit confused with the info you've posted.
Are you living in Australia now or are you in the UK and still awaiting your visa?
If you've only just passed VETASSESS then you still have a long way to go.
If you're in OZ now then try www.seek.com.au for starters

Re: Gap training and vetassess complete
Hi there again,
I am presuming your looking for sponsorship in order to get a visa. If you're lucky enough to get one from the UK then you may be granted a visa sub class 457 Employee Nominated Scheme and could be granted a visa within 3-6 months of lodgement of an application to DIAC. I think your chances of securing sponsorship from the UK are slim at best. I can only vaguely remember 1 case of someone securing sponsorship and they were in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa.
If you apply for a 175 skilled independent visa then it takes them about 18-24 months to process this from the time you lodge the application with DIAC.
If you go for state sponsorship 176 then it 's about 12-18 months from date of lodgement.
Also, I don't know what kind of 'agent' you're using but migration agents are not responsible for finding jobs or potential sponsors. They only provide assistance for the visa application process. I would suggest you approach a MARA registered migration agent such as www.gomatilda.com to discuss your options.
Their initial consultations are free.
Regards Derren
