Sabi sa link (http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/skilledmigration/Pages/Occupationsindemand.aspx), "...A limited number of nominations are also available for applicants with Schedule 2 (offlist) occupations on the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list..." Ang intindi ko ganito: available naman 'yung occupations under Schedule 2 for nomination, pero limited o iilang applicants lang ang mabibigyan ng nomination.
Pero naka-indicate din na 'yung Schedule 2 occupations ay "offlist" daw at according doon sa page 2 ng Criteria for State Nomination (http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/120912 UPDATED state_sponsorship_criteria_2012_2013.pdf), may kailangan pang i-meet na mga criteria, depende kung visa 190 o visa 489 ang aapplayan. Not so sure about my interpretation though. Better contact WA for a more authoritative response: http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/contact/generalmigration/Pages/StateMigration.aspx
Kapag visa 189 ang aapplayan mo, dapat maka-at least 60 points ka pa rin to be eligible to apply for that type of Skilled Migration visa (http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/visas/subclass-189/#accessibletabscontent0-4)
Hope these info helps ;-)

You can also explore other skilled visa options/possibilities: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/overseas-skilled-options.pdf
@arch_see: We don't know; maari o maaring hindi. To be honest, paiba-iba kasi lagi ang mga skilled occupation lists/state migration plans ng mga Aussie states/territories. Like 'yung isang friend ko, dati available pa 'yung Contract Administrator (ANZSCO Code: 511111) doon sa WASMOL ilang months ago. Tapos, around the middle of this year, biglang naging 'Not Available' na siya. At ngayon, tuluyan nang natanggal sa list. But who knows? Baka maibalik ulit next year ang mga naalis sa listahan. Life is always full of surprises.
@bachuchay: ...same din 'yung suggestion ko for you, tulad doon sa ilang points na nasabi ko kay @drei12
Personal opinions/suggestions lang po ito, but I hope I was able to share some bits of useful info somehow.
All the best po! Don't fret and don't ever lose hope!

Sayang naman po kasi you are already half-way through the processing na and since nakalagay pa din naman sa CSOL ang skill ng 511112 kaya subok lang po.
Kung hindi po 190 makukuha nyo, baka pwede nyo po din po i-consider ang visa 186 or 187 since positive na ang assessment nyo, english test nalang kailangan, kung di pa kay nag ielts. Hanap po ng employer thru seek.com.au and other job sites...and lots and lots of prayers [-O< Tuloy lang po ang laban! :-bd

1. Can I include all my assets/ properties sa pinas kahit monthly pko nagbabayad ng loan? (Condo & H&L)
2. Insurance in SG (Manulife/ Prudential savings & investment equivalent to 20k sgd as of this time). Will withdraw by July next year
3. Wala po kaming cash on hand/ savings. Can we declare a small amount kahit 3k-5k sgd? But definitely will have enough cash before we migrate to AU (like around 10k sgd).
I-compute ba total net amount of assets/ savings/ investment?
Maraming salamat po

Nonetheless, basta ang important po is yung amount of funds na ide-declare ninyo against your estimated monthly expenses, will be more than enough to sustain you (accdg sa WA website is 3 months) between 6 months-1 year para safe po.
All the best po! :-bd

You may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen, but you can be certain that God is not making any mistakes.

Backread po kayo ng kaunti. Nadiscuss na po briefly ang laman ng exam pero ulitin ko nalang.
Part 1 - WA geography - magddepend din to sa area na pinili mo. Sa aking Perth CBD lang choice ko
Part 2 - living in WA cost ng rent etc. ang mga sagot nasa links na bigay nila
Part 3 - working in WA
Wala pong oras ang exam, pwede kang mag google habang nageexam. Nasa links na bnigay nila ang sagot sa lahat ng tanong. You have to score at least 60% each test. Nung before october changes pwede ulitin ung exam pag d ka nakapasa sa 60%. Not sure kung nabago sya after ng mga changes. Hope it helps! God Bless
