So nothing has changed downunder. 25 years ago the advice was the same. Go North, go the the back end of nowhere and camp on some bugger's doorstep until he gives you a job. Then, once you have a one, be prepared to be told that with less than 1,000 hours you won't have sufficient experience to fly a twin, with less than five thousand enough for a turbo-prop and forget a jet altogether.
The important thing you have Reuben is a nursing qualification. With that you can afford to live and buy some time. Best of luck.

ps. When you do get there, the easiest thing you'll ever fly will be a jet. Bigger = easier. Then next easiest is a turbo-prop and the most difficult of all, a piston twin.
