If you've got the experience (2500hrs on a EFIS jet >30tons) start looking overseas. Emirates will fly you to Dubai business class, put you up in a nice hotel and feed you when you go for interview.
If successful you'll get a free type rating, free furnished accommodation, free medical care and a provident fund. Tax free salary, car loan, transport to and from work, they even dry clean your uniform for you.
If you want better terms and conditions look at Asia and the Middle East.
Australia is just a race to the bottom, only worth it if you get into QF mainline while you're young.
