My husband is in finance, but we got his visa as a family visa (I’m a NZ citizen) and it took 5 months – mostly due to the FBI clearance papers taking 4 months.
If you are just starting the process I would say the absolute first thing would be to get fingerprinted & send it off to the FBI. Everything else will take less time.
If you are going on a Skilled Worker Visa I have no idea how long it would take, but I know its a lot more expensive and you have to deal with the points process.
Good luck.

damn, I might not get down there until next year then!
Do you know if I should approach the FBI for the fingerprints? Sorry for the detailed question – I just remember the immigration website mentioning a security check but not any details.
Thanks!

No worries, it’s hard to navigate the system without a lot of research
After we lodged his app, the immig officer told us to get it. It is only $18 but takes forever, so I would go ahead & do it ASAP before they ask for it. I have no doubt it will be a requirement for you.
Follow the instructions, fill out the form, get your local police station to take your fingerprints on the FBI form (below), mail it in, & wait forever.
