If you are 53 this is not necessarily a barrier to emigrating to Australia. You can even emigrate to Australia upon retirement and you could be eligible for an Asyralia Retirement Visa which is granted on an annual basis.
However, at the age of 53 you have at least 12 years and possibly more before retirement and so it depends largely on the skills that you have.
In order to emigrate, you need to complete a form which asks you about the skills that you have and awards you points accordingly. If you have the points required, then you could emigrate to Australia. (Health is also a consideration).
To ascertain whether or not you have the points needed, it is possible to do this for free online and you will have an almost immediate response. There are a number of agencies who offer this service online, but you should check that they offer the questions which will establish if you satisfy the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs' requirements.
