Re: Which visa do I need
For employment you need to find employer first, then apply for work permit etc. But do you speak German?
Germany has a shortage of skilled tradesmen, engineers, nursing but from what I know no shortage of IT ppl.

Depends. Is your Australian passport the only one you hold or are entitled to? Do you have a spouse who holds an EU passport?

IT in Germany with no German ? That could be difficult unless you find the right niche.

You’ll need an employer before you can get a visa. If you’re under 30 you can also obtain a working holiday visa for 12 months.

Depends. If you can find a job with an employer willing to sponsor you then it’s straightforward. If your employer isn’t willing to offer you a job without you having the right to work then it’s a non-starter. At the moment it doesn’t sound like you have either.
