I think the odd's depend on the candidate. If you are a keen, dedicated type who would'nt mind moving interstate then yes, you definitely can get a job. If you are in a comfort zone and are reluctant to move then I'm not so sure, but anyway usually you can start off with some sort of contract work with your own students, as in you will be employed if you bring in your own students. Once you get senior 3, or Grade 2 you become quite marketable and should'nt have a problem getting employment.
BTW, have you done your intstructor rating yet? If not go somewhere that will give you even casual work on completion, even if that means moving! Good Luck!
