Try jobseeker.com.au, it collects pretty much all Australian job ads, filter through the location and try phoning in directly. You are unlikely to find something before coming over though, you might, people have, though not many.

You should also catch up on licensing (check out the electricians forum on BE) and factor in the fact that you will be working in supervised positions only - electricians are the lucky ones that need a year of apprenticeship to requalify to Australian standards, regardless of quals that you hold before you come over. That may have some impact on what you thought you might be earning.

It can't be done so it is a non issue, it just lets you be more realistic in terms of earning potential in the time you plan to spend there, seems you are on a right track. have fun and pay a leccies board on here a visit, lots of Australian discussion there.
