Australia is a large island continent with job opportunities in aviation, engineering, healthcare, construction, technology, education, hospitality and resources. Major employment centres include Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, while aviation roles may also be available in regional airports and maintenance bases.
