Australia is city-centric. I don't like your chances...

Testing and quality assurance goes with main software development. And major software houses and financial institutions' IT departments are in major cities. Dominantly Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

IT jobs outside of major capitals are as rare as unicorn shit. Forget it.
