My uni only gives us course weighted average. How do I know what is my CGPA and which class am I in?

Which uni is that. Most universities will have the formula to calculate on their website. You need to know the value of each of your grades and the credit hours.
There are some Universities in Aussie that only use WAM and doesn't use CGPA however. If they use you have to know they use a GPA scale of 4 or 7.

My uni is Curtin University. On the transcript I get the credit hours, my marks (over 100%) and the grade. I want to see how much I get for CGPA because some jobs have requirements stating at least 2nd upper class or something like that. Thanks everyone for the replies!

you should be well aware by now that Aussie's system doesn't award Honours to Degrees which are three years in lenght don't you?

Grade Point Average (GPA)
Curtin University does not use or calculate a Grade Point Average (GPA).
However, under the Curtin University Grading system, a CWA of 0.00 is the minimum, a CWA of 50.00 is the mid-point and a CWA of 100.00 is the maximum, and this scale may be used to calculate an equivalent GPA.

Though this thing here from Curtin Sarawak might help.

Yea I'm aware that I don't have an honours degree. But if I apply those jobs that require at least 2nd upper class in degree, would the employers take me into consideration?

And if I don't have an honours degree, it means my degree is not under the 1st class or 2nd class ranking system?

What field is it for?
First Class,Second Class upper,Second Class lower and third class are all classification of an Honours Degree. If your degree is not an Honours degree than it isn't classified using that system.
Most HR departments in Malaysia would understand that Aussie's three year Degrees don't come with Honours.
A second class upper is probably around the areas of a high credit average.
Use this as a guide to see if your WAM is around the CGPA that usually would get somebody a second class upper
