Even if you have a PH flight BKK-MNL-SYD and a separate QF ticket SYD-CPT there is no guarantee PH will accept the QF flight in lieu of a valid Au visa. A flight delay gives you problems.
You are not "transiting" in normal airline use of that term. Transit is where all flights on the same ticket. You have 1 flight ending and another separate flight starting at the same airport.
I note from your profile ZA South Africa.
TIMATIC is used by airline to determine eligibility

For passports holders from Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Hong Kong (SAR PRC), Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and United States. Beware of non government 3rd party look-a-like web sites that charge more, often found with a browser web search. Only the Au government web site/department issues visas. The other scam web sites just send your data to the Au Gov web site.
