If you have an occupation on the CSOL and can find an employer who is eligible and willing to sponsor you, a temporary subclass 457 visa has no skills assessment for most occupations and a modified skills assessment for people in certain trades from certain countries.
http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/visas/subclass-457/ 457 visa
http://www.deewr.gov.au/Skills/Programs/SkillsAssess/TRA/457Assessment/Documents/457Guidelines.pdf See page 6 for a list of trades and source countries for which 457 skills assessment is required
Skills assessment is required for all points tested visas (189, 190 and 489).
For Direct Entry 186 ENS visas, skills assessment is required for all applicants.
For Direct Entry 187 RSMS visas, skills assessment is required if you are nominated as a tradesperson and obtained your qualifications outside Australia.

A skills test is only for the professions that are considered trades. Those trades are professions that require either an apprenticeship or an exam to qualify( like accountant). The professions have to be listed on the proper list as well, just a skill is not sufficient.

Migrating to Australia is difficult. Under normal circumstances you will need one of the required skills/qualifications on the list at http://www.immi.gov.au If you do not have the required skills, your chances of migrating here are minimal.
