Hope you're not a teacher of English? :)

www.immi.gov.au is the site you will need to read through. There is a long way to go before you will have a visa, and giving up your job first may not have been the best thing to do, without knowing if you can get a visa. You have to ascertain if your teaching skills are sufficient to be accepted, and you will also need a medical and police check(s).

There is a forum specifically for migrating teachers, might be worth reading through that/posting there.
