You will have to get used to this sort of bungling in Australia.
Sad to say that the real reason why they get migrants over here is not to work in a "needed trade/profession" but because they want you here.
A skilled migrant is seen as a source of income for Australia, i.e they bring over money, buy housing, usually accept lower wages than the locals etc.
As for the trade/profession - if you can get a job in it again Australia wins. Another country has spent out a lot of money to train you.
You could go for your licence in another state but I don't know if it will be accepted in WA.
