Sure!
Contact the universities you're interested in attending and find out what their admission requirements are. You'll want to check websites and find out what prerequisite courses you may be missing for a program in the US. (You may be missing none at all.)
I don't know what immigration laws apply, and they've changed lately so there will be some research to do in that area.
Except for immigration laws I might not know about there is no reason you could not work as a psychologist in the US. However, I will point out that in the US, typically a psychologist has a PhD. You can work as a counsellor or therapist with a Master's degree, though.
There are PhD programs that you can start immediately after earning a bachelor's degree, though. Many of these allow you to earn a master's on the way to your PhD.

I'm sure you can. I've got a friend who has got a Masters in Law from a university in Argentina, and he was given a place on a PhD programme in the UK. I would have thought it would be a similar situation there.

Of course. Look into universities in the US that you would like to go to and check their websites for admissions information. They should have information for international students that explains what you will need to do to apply and how to get your student visa. To work in the US, you will need a working visa once your student visa expires. The university's international student affairs office should be able to help you or get you the information you need to apply. Good luck.

I don't see why not. You do need to check with the intended school and see if your degree & associated credits are transferable. You can work in the U.S. with the proper visa just as you'll need a student visa to go to school here.
C'mon across the pond. :o)

your going to need more than your masters to be a psychologist, you have to get your Ph.D as well. I dont know if in Australia if you need to write the GRE's but you def. have to write them to apply in the USA. (Both the General GRE and Psychology GRE) and let me tell you they are HARD.

I went to school with a girl from AUS who is majoring in psy. here. She had a degree of some sort from Aus. But came here to play Lacrosse and get a B. in psy. here. But why do you want to come to the USA to get a job? can you not get a job in AUS? The girl i went to school with wants to go back very badly....
