Take it from me, the Australian ATPL isn't much use in Europe. You'll have to convert it to a JAR one.
Asia, different story, it is well regarded and accepted.
Where do you want to work? What licences are used there?

Then decide where you want to train.

Get all your schooling out of the way first.
There's nothing stopping you from doing a private licence while you're at school

Asian airlines will accept an Australian licence. Since you're in Malaysia that might be the way forward for you. All of my friends who've got into Cathay, Dragonair and Silkair have Australian ATPLs with a significant amount of experience.

Good luck, have you thought about asking the operators what they'd like?

If you get into Cathay, then they sort out the appropriate exams and tuition you need to do.
Other airlines, eg MAS give you a validation, however, you must renew your Australian Instrument rating and medical every year.

It is company and country specific as to exactly what they will and won't accept. I do know that the Australian ATPL is acceptable to asian and ME airlines. It's cheaper than a JAR ATPL that's for sure. The FAA ATPL doesn't cost the earth either.

If I were you, I would spend some time researching the companies you want to work for, find out their licencing/experience requirements and their countries immigration requirements too. However, all of this is a moot point if you don't get reasonable grades at school.
