yep, within the last 10 yrs lang na work experience lang ang valid.
You can get invited for 489 kahit 60 points lang. it depends sa nominated occupation I think. May certain occupations na capped kc sobrang dami ng nsa queue like accountants, IT, electronics engineer, etc. wherein walang maiinvite na 489 kapag na-exhaust na ng 189 ung places.
If yung occupation mo ay wala dun sa capped list of occupations you have a chance to get invited for 489 with 60 points kc konti ang applicants at immigration has allocated certain number of places per occupation not just in total.
Example, if you submit an EOI for social worker as your nominated occupation, most likely you will get invited even you only have 60 points for 489 kc konti lang ang applicants ng occupation na yun. If accountant ung occupation, you will not get an invite with 60 points either 189 or 489 kc sangkatutak ang applicants na may mataas na score.
Below is the latest skill select EOI report/score:
https://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Pages/20-september-2017-round-results.aspx
For 489, someone got invited with 60 points and that person submitted his/her EOI on 19-September-2017.
If you are more comfortable to use a migration agent go for it.

Anyway going back sa thread for everyone asking po sa messaging me. 489 Family sponsored po means you can go to any state or territory as long as it is a designated area:
Designated Areas
All Post codes Everywhere in the Territory
ACT
NT
SA
TA
VIC
WA
except sa NSW
Everywhere except Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong
Postcodes- 2311 to 2312, 2328 to 2333, 2336 to 2490, 2535 to 2551, 2575 to 2739, 2787 to 2898
except QLD
Everywhere except the greater Brisbane area
4019 to 4028, 4037 to 4050, 4079 to 4100, 4114, 4118, 4124 to 4150, 4158 to 4168, 4180 to 4899
so madami po opportunity to live and work while under 489. except sa NSW and QLD pili lng ang postcodes. pero andyan ang VIC and WA
It also means that you don’t need to be on he same state sa family n nag sponsor sayo.
Good luck satin lahat!
