I'm not sure of your situation or where you are based at the moment. However, in the bush areas most of the new pilots are getting jobs if they wait it out for a while. I honestly dont think there is a better time for being up north hanging around than the start of this year. I know at least 3 pilots being taken on in the past few months one had some hours the others just out of training.
If you are in a major centre my advice is move to a smaller place. Say Katherine/Alice/broome/ etc. Non flying jobs are very easy to get in these places, go and see the operators, let them know your in town and are STAYING not just passing through. You will find doors opening for you if they need a pilot and you are the chick on the doorstep.
Dont think that when you call and they say the are full that wont change, almost every pilot I know is always looking for something better to come along and there is alot of movement at the moment.
Endorsement to have are still R44/Bell 47 and R22.
Obviously no guarantees but head north and give it a go, you wont regret it.
Took me a while to get a job but that is because I didnt go north!
