Are you an australian citizen or permanant resident?
if your not it is my understanding that if you can only transfer into a similar position and not to re-train as a pilot. You would be put into competition with everyone else.
Also it would mean a 2 year minimum wait which would then make you even older, perhaps the NZAF would be a better option for you. Then once trained you may be able to transfer across.
