It may be helpful to give an idea of where in Aus you are hoping to move to!

Australia is certainly in the midst of recession with businesses & mines etc laying people off regularly. Finding a job when you are new to the country, with no Aus experience, references or contacts is very likely to be very difficult & take quite some time.
If you have employment in the UK, validate your visa & wait it out if you can.
Sorry to be negative but unless one of you has guaranteed employment, now is a very tricky time to move.
