You would need to supply more information.

However if the work gained in OZ will give you enough points to get a Permanent visa at the time of applying, then yes you could get it*.

If you have looked at the permanent visa what do you score and what visa are you looking at.

* - You could get rejected for some reason even though you past the points

If by work permit you mean WHV then yes, you can go to Australia and search for sponsorship although this is difficult. If you do find a sponsor you will need the 457 Business Visa aka sponsorship . The 457 visa ties you to the job you are sponsored for, but this can be transferred between jobs as long as your new employer wishes to sponsor you too. Good luck
