For visa information and applications www.immi.gov.au There is a skills list on this site which the govt is looking for so those people have preference for a visa. The visa is issued on a points system.
Any qualifications you have must come from a recognized teaching institution. Getting a visa does not mean you automatically get a job.
Australia is an expensive country to live in with high taxes etc. For cost of living www.numbeo.com
Unemployment is rising so locals will get a job before an expat. Unless necessary companies will not hire expats as this is costly and time consuming for them.
If you wish to come here and look around you may qualify for a working holiday visa which allows you to work at fruit picking and other jobs.
A student visa means you can work part time 20 hrs a week. You will need to have your own medical insurance cover.
Hope this helps.
