What is Skills in Demand Visa?

A Skill in Demand Visa is a temporary visa that is issued by the Australian government as a part of their Migration Strategy.  Australia has recently seen a considerable gap in employment; nearly 36% of the skilled occupations have reported a shortage of workers. To encourage the migration of skilled workers from across the globe, they introduced the Skills in Demand Visa.  Under this Visa, there are 3 categories, they are:
