From personal experience I can tell you it is very difficult to emigrate to Australia. They are very protective of their own people and Aussies get first crack at all jobs down under (and I say more power to them). I would contact the embassy and get their rules for emigration. They do not approve everyone who applies.
In fact, they are so strict that when I went down under for a student internship, I had to have a letter from the director of the internship sent to the embassy office stating that I was not displacing a native Australian student from that particular learning situation. Only when this was done could I get my visa!

Maybe you should get some experience working in your own country first. It will be easier to get a job with a reference. The Australian embassy will be able to advise you about working there. They will also help you with visa application. You need a valid passport as well as the correct visa. No jabs needed.

I suggested also getting some experience in your own country first.
Once you have 'hands on' experience, you can look at:
www.seek.com.au
www.careerone.com.au
www.mycareer.com.au
or know the state you wish to work in and contact the Allied Health departments of the public and private hospitals.
I am from Victoria and I know that the public hospitals here sometimes arrange for the migration paperwork to be all done for you if you are what they are looking for.
Good luck.

It's going to be hard for you. You'll have to get a visa but that will only allow you to work for 12 months and employers won't hire you if they think you're going to leave after only 1 year.

Sydney. lots extra job possibilities then Brisbane. i in my opinion like Sydney over Melbourne... it particularly is often so overcast and depressing down there... apart from their severe warm climate recently, yet many times speaking. i think of the value of living may well be extra inexpensive in Brisbane, yet like I mentioned Sydney has lots extra job possibilities. Sydney additionally has a super nightlife, Cockle Bay is superb - domicile evening club :)
