Any helpful pointers on clarifying if the fire-fighter gains any points?

Hi Clive,
I've found Graphic Designer on the ASCO list
1220.0 - Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) Second Edition, 1997
Accounts Clerk is also on the list
1220.0 - Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) Second Edition, 1997
If your wife meets those requirements you could also apply as her being the main applicant on a Skilled - Independent visa or possibly the Designated Area Sponsored visa (but that's only if you want to live in Perth as the applicant must live in the State of the sponsor).
I wouldn't think that the fire fighting would gain you any points.
You've definitely got a few options so I'd recommend you get advice from a migration agent. The first consultation is usually free without obligation, and approach at least 3 agents (making sure that that they are on the MARA list).
Good luck
Dolly
