It helps if you have relatives there and if you are willing to relocate to regional parts of the country.

Malaysian experience may not mean much in Australia, the only reason why you work is to earn sufficient money to immigrate.

Yes, it helps if the skills you have are on the shortage list.....like librarians.........who grew up here thinking of becoming a librarian?

You should also be flexible in that you may not get the job that you want in Australia. You need to do a bunch of other stuff first before until you find your 'dream' job. This can be hard on people. Network helps a lot.

Or if you have some money the process gets easier....

Invest in Govt bond and you get a fast track...

Invest in business (say opening a pizza store) and again you get your foot in

Unlike Msia where we give PR based on "other qualities", Australia wants someone that can contribute to their country, not just leeching..

Most my my frens and ex colleague found their way to Australia probably becos they have relatives there. What most of them told me is they are jobless at least 6 months until they manage to get a professional job like what they did in Malaysia. One lucky fella manage to find in 3 months. All of them are with 5-6 years experience before migrating thou. Some have worked in Singapore for a short stint before moving to aus. Most of them are in Melbourne.
