The best place to start if you want to do everything yourself is with the Wizard on DIAC's website.

Hi podge
DIAC (the Department of Immigration in Australia) has an online "Visa Wizard" that might be useful for you to use as a first step towards finding out what kind of visa/s you and your family are eligible to apply for.
Here's a link to it: http://www.immi.gov.au/visawizard/
Just be aware though that although it's a really good resource, it doesn't take specifics into account, which could affect your eligibility.
So when it refers you to various visa options, be sure to read the eligibility criteria section very carefully for each one, and seek professional advice from a registered migration agent if you would like to discuss your options further, or confirm your understanding of your potential visa pathway/s.
Many ethical and reputable agents provide initial assessments of potential applicants' visa options, at no cost.

Re: can anyone help ?
If neither you nor your OH have skills that are on the SOL, then general skilled migration stream is not an option - you'd never pass the skills assessment, that is a pre-requisite to a visa application. If you find a suitable employer to sponsor you for a temporary worker visa, and then sponsor you for a permanent visa after two years (where you can claim exemption from skills assessment) then there is a chance, but with a lot of risk involved, because being a non-resident you basically have very little rights. Sponsorship for the permanent visa would not be guaranteed, and lots may change in immigration policy in two years time. That's a lot to take on, when there is a kid is involved. Perhaps requalifying would be a suitable, lower-risk, albeit a much longer option?
