From what i heard, working holiday is really more like "work and holiday" where you can play after a few months of work. A friend of mine got his working holiday and his skills is actually high demand in Aussie. But non of the aussie company want to hire him unless he have a PR.
U can try to pave your way out with working holiday for the year and see how it goes. Maybe look for Malaysian or SG company operating in Aussie?
Working holiday visa is meant for young people (low-skilled) who wants to travel (they work as they need to meet their travelling costs). I have seen many young pommies (on a working visa) in my company come and go over my entire working life (i have worked more than 30 years in Sydney now). They usually are very young and would work in very junior positions for a few months and they would move on. Their motive is to travel and enjoy when you are young. Most employers who employ them are also orang putih. These young people usually don't want to hang around too long as all they want to do is experience travelling in Aust.

Not many employers would want to employ workers on holiday visa due to the fact that they are supposed to be temps and are short-term workers. I have not seen many of these young holiday-visa holders anymore as there are so many job applicants whenever positions are advertised. You used to advise for a position and no-one would apply for it (this was the situation when i came to Aust more than 30 years ago). The position that i am now in had only me as the sole applicant in the 80s. I am one of the 'lucky' baby boomers but life is Aust is now getting tougher especially for young migrants. I am in a semi-government organisation and in those days, you have a superannuation called 'defined-benefit' super scheme which gives you about 8 times of your final salary after you have worked 30 years which means if your last salary before you retire is 100k, you will roughly have 800k in your defined-benefit super (plus you can still contribute extra to another superfund if you want to retire with more). All that is now gone and there are not as many opportunities for young people anymore in Aust.
