I'm planning to migrate in Feb 2013 to Perth and I've already my PR for few years now. I find the AUD130k per annum (with 5-6 years IT exp) quite unrealistic, and you should verify that with your hiring company.

Added on July 5, 2012, 10:54 amSorry guys but from July 1st 2012, skilled migration is closed. Now you can only apply thru EOI (Expression of Interest) where you have to pass the ELTS test, get your degree and work verified by ACS (Australian Computer Society) and your info will be in a database. This allows future employers to handpick the best to apply for PR (you will be invited). Otherwise, you have to just keep waiting.

Sorry Aus immigration in recent years is very very strict - now only high qualified individuals can migrate to Aus, now even stricter - you can only migrate using EOI (Expression of Interest)
Read abt it here: http://www.workpermit.com/news/2011-05-30/...n-july-2012.htm

So without skills needed by Aus, you can't work there legally.

And working holiday visa is no longer applicable to Malaysians.

Suprised the working holiday visa is still around... anyways, good luck if you wanna go for that - you need to compete with locals and other immigrants for jobs. But most importantly, you need to bring a lot of $$$ with you to get a rental place (rent is very mahal anywhere in Oz). So save up!
