Probably best posted in the Dununda forum.
A couple of tips. Best not say "will do anything" - the implication is that you'll fly for free. If this is not the case - please accept my apologies for that assumption. Also, it's guaranteed to annoy the established pilots that you'll pay for a rating.

Generally in Australia, if you're not tagged on a scheme, your first job will be instructing, meat bombing or scenics/charter on singles in the Territory or Kimberley.

Most folks get every thing squared away, such as the IR, exams, DG certificate before looking for work. I got my Night VFR rating sorted before I headed NW as it has more flexible recency requirements than an IR. (Best check current requirements)

Very few are hired on CV - you'll have to get in your car and go travel.
Good luck.
