It will be difficult to find a job related to our field unless we can try other opportunities that can sustain our families for the meantime. Additional trainings or courses that we can take as added advantage to our qualifications.
Given with the present situation of Au's economy, the future is still uncertain. Why not take the risk? Who knows, a yr or two Au will recover. Au is the world's 12th largest economy.

Australia is the place to be. BUt you have to make some sacrifices to acheive that Australian Dream.
To take a gamble as recommended by @fgs is an option that has to be considered. However to Bet on something you have to look at its probabilty. Kumbaga sa Sabong, lamado ang taya . Yun lang talaga mahirap igauge yung probability na makahanap ng work SA 2015-2016 Compared sa 2017.
I do agree with @sunflower and @leah28 that if you are currently working in the philippines and/or earning less the time for the australian dream is now. . Because the risks are minimal.
But For OFWs, highed salaried employees in RP and bussinesmen like @superluckyclover. There are a lot of risks which seems to be a low probability gamble due the economic slump.
@kittykitkat18 and Myself seem to have almost the same situation. im currently here in brunei.
The prospect of ending up earning less with an Odd job is a bit scary to me. Considering Brunei Dollar, SGD and AUD are now of the same value. Our take home pay maybe smaller in AU. Marami kasi umaasa sa akin kaya maapektuhan cgurado sila.
@Futures , Yes different people have differrent circumstances and different sources of their confidence.
In my Case my confidence will depend on the Job demand condition and it doesnt seem so encouraging this 2015-2016. I might be wrong though.
Im bit torn between obtaining an Job before moving or Moving before finding a JOb.
The Latter seems more riskier and would need a lot of confidence. This is the reason i have posted this discussion.
Thanks again for your insightful comments. cheers

May pagasa kaya na umayos ang economy by April 2016 for me to decide? or the economic slowdown will last until 2017? Ramdam nyo ba mga taga AU slowdowned economy?
I know better economy will not guarantee of me landing a job but of course it's more advantageous. I have been researching and contemplating to move or not to move byt next year? Kasi ang status ng AU is still hanging for now... kaya nagbabasa din talaga ako ng mga inputs nyo for consideration. thanks guys!

Would your Baon be enough to sustain you, including yung pera na nakalaan for your responsibilities sa Pinas/Family, for 3, 6 mos, or 1 year na bakante? Yes, the recession has a factor on how long your baon would last, but that’s too complicated and obsessive na to predict and consider.
Willing ba kayo mag odd jobs for 1 year, raket dito, raket doon? Emotionally prepared na ba kayo na hindi kayo magsself-pity at maddepress kung sakaling napakabigat or “baba” nang trabahong gagawin nyo vs. sa profession nyo dati? Kahit hindi recession, pwedeng ganyan ang mangyari.
Next question would probably be, kung hindi ngayon, kelan (kung hindi ikaw, sino? :P )? Your decision would depend on your circumstances… Like in my case, my company has many compensation-based retention programs, basically the longer I stay, the more money I will save…
Kaya babalik uli tayo doon sa Baon, if you “wait it out” and save, how much is enough? What if the recession or economic slump, lasts longer, are you still going to wait it out? Or paano kung natapos na daw ang recession, but the moment you stepped into Australian soil, biglang nag-recession uli, ano gagawin mo?
Kaya sa madaling salita, kung hindi ka naman nagmamadali at may option ka pang iba, stay put ka muna where you are and observe.
Pero kung gusto mo na talagang magsimula, at meron ka namang sapat na pera at maraming lakas ng loob, then anytime will be the best time to move to Australia, recession or not.

Ito naman ang isang question pa... since may expiration ang PR visa for 5yrs (alteast 2yrs to stay and work in OZ). Kung maghihintay kami and umabot sa 4yrs bago kami magmove sa OZ (meaning 1yr left na lang ang PR visa namin). Ano ang magiging implication sa amin ito? hindi na kami makakarenew ng PR visa? meaning do we have to leave OZ and go back to SG or Pinas? May case na ba kayo na ganito? Salamat sa inyo mga inputs.

may i add, may nakalagay sa resident return application form na have you stayed in australia for minimum 2yrs if not give explanation. mas maigi cguro na mag wait and see, save and job hunt while outside oz during the first three years of your visa and then move. mahirap na baka di tangapin ang exlanation natin.

Everyday we hear fears in news, "mahirap humanap ng trabaho ngayon..." "sa panahon ngayon kelangan dalawa na trabaho..." "hirap makahanap ngayon ng trabaho sa Singapore etc." "Naghihigpit nadaw Dubai ngayon" It never ends! The fact that Immi did not increase the points needed for visa 189, it means they still need manpower, and they find the skilled work visa is effective for so many years.
Bottomline is risk out! Trust in the lord, let God be God.

a. You are about to earn more even with an only an Odd Job.
b. You have a job offer regardless of earning less or more.

for minimum risks.
a. Move only until you satisfy 1-b.
b. Move only until you satisfy 1-c.
c. Move before PR visa expires and make sure to save as much as possible before
moving.
I welcome any suggestions or non-violent reactions/constructive critisism.

. Sure, we will not be able to do what we normally do here in the Philippines but with perseverance and hardwork we will topple that over. Australia's economy is among the worlds best and they have natural resources to support that. They on a down turn now because of the world crisis brought about by China's starving economy but like any economy, it will bounce back slowly but surely. If you want to consider timing then that could also be a good option but consider the constant upgrades of imigration policies, prices and the rising numbers in migrants. Too soon maybe better than too late (2017 - 2020).
If you've been to the worst then you need not fear that you cannot get through this, Filipinos are born and bred fighters - we thrive on the harshes conditions. The best we can give ourselves is the chance to become better and be on a better plattform. If you have goals of a better life then stick to it, if you cannot obtain it here then don't change it but rather change your plans.
Migrate, why not? but come prepared both financially, physically and emotionally - read about moving into Australia, ask your relatives or friends living in Australia if it's a good idea then plan eveything from assessment, taking the IELTS and the whole VISA application because it takes more than personal will to do all of these. You will have to really decide and put your heart and mind into it.
More importantly, we should focus on what is our main purpose for migrating. Personally, I intend to migrate for my children's future, Education being my top consideration. I believe Australia can also offer far more better living environment, culture, perpective and general life comfort than the Philippines (Traffic, corruption, flooding, crime rate, rising cost of living, pollution, job availabiltiy, education, lifestyle etc).

But it relation to this thread's topic, mababa ang attrition rate doon coz they try to hold on to their jobs kasi naooutsource na dito sa pinas, so possibility din na tumatanggap sila ng projects na maaaring lower role but they still stick it out wih their company to get their benefits, super etc and hope na umayos ang situation in the future. Nagcomment kasi sila na sa phil office people are fast to pack their bags kahit konting yanig lang, or pagna dissolve proj then nalipat to a temp role na pangit, alsabalutan agad and lipat, ang volatile daw...
