There are actually a few places but I have 3 that stick out:
Chopperline at Caloundra
Blue Tongue at Sunshine Coast / Maroochydore
Beckers at Sunshine Coast / Maroochydore
Tip : if you're over 100 kgs, ask for something other than a Robinson R22, such as a Bell 47 or Schweizer 300 series.

If you're looking at flying blenders professionally, I'd mainly take a look at PHS and Chopperline:
PHS are at CG (main base MB) and only employ their own pilots when staffing their operation at the Rock. You get to 500 rotary command hours in on average 12-18 months after getting the CPL(H) ticket, and most of those hours will be turbine, which opens a few doors here and abroad.
Chopperline is part of the Kenny Curry group, and the group owns enough flying assets to make it interesting from an employment perspective..
