It is really boiling down to the 5 yr issue. Locum work is there but all the non-employed pt's are looking for anything so that puts them in the pot. You will see you can definately apply for locum work from Aus. There is usually a lead time of 4-6 weeks so get registered with the HPC, get CSP membership then start applying from Aus. Once here in your first job you can put the feelers out or use PhysioBob's Jobs to find more as you go along.
