Seems to be a fair few these types of jobs here on the Gold Coast.

Did you know that a pastry cook here is actually what we call a Confectioner in the UK!!!

Im a qualified Baker, Confectioner & Cake Decorator and I now work as a Cake decorator of Ice Cream cakes, love it! X

Im Chef working in WA. Whilst there does seem to be jobs around there are definately nowhere near as many as a couple of months ago. The huge demand for chefs was created by many leaving the trade to go earn big bucks in the mines. now some of those mines have closed there is an increase in the number of chefs coming back to the trade - hence more competition.
salary? well i guess that varies but here a chef de partie is on about $45k, sous chef about $50k.
Good luck with your move
