Provided that your wife meets the requirements for the visa, she can apply as the primary applicant and you can be listed as a dependent on the same visa.

Once you get to Oz, I very much doubt that you will have any trouble finding work in your field. I work in construction as well and I find that in Oz, employers are more interested in your knowledge and therefore, if you can answer all the technical questions, they will look past the fact that you do not have any formal qualifications. A good employer might even pay for you to get some formal qualifications.
