Commuting from Launceston

Hello all. I am an experienced jet captain with several type ratings. I will be moving to Australia from overseas in the next 6 months and the family will be based in Launceston. After some research and following the job market it seems like there are jobs to be had but I would have to commute if I want to keep flying jets. And from what I can gather on this forum commuting to your job in Australia is not easy. Maybe not even worth it if you are a family man. Has anybody here done that out of Launceston or Hobart and is willing to share their experiences? Apart from NJS are there any other operators with a pilot base in Tasmania?
Other option would be to flight instruct or fly for one of the smaller charter companies. 3rd option non flying job.
Thanks in advance if anyone can give me some insights and advice either in this thread or PM.
