The problem is at the moment you can't get into OZ as a truck driver as they are not allowing companies to recruit overseas but watch out on one of the other threads as it has been posted there that this could change but it has been in the pipeline for sometime now with a test the water package of only 100 drivers to see how it goes but nothing has come of this as of yet as the OZ parilament has to approve it.

The Australian Government is working closely with state, territory and local governments, and regional authorities to provide regional migration programmes that support regional development and help supply the skill needs of regional employers.
These programmes are designed to address the special circumstances of rural and regional Australia.
They are employer-friendly, flexible and include concessions for regional employers.
The programmes aim to attract young, skilled, English speaking migrants to areas of Australia where they are most needed. Generally, skilled migrants are under 45 years of age, have functional English, diploma level qualifications or above and relevant work experience.

If your wife is under 45 and is a qualified Nurse then get her to start speaking more English Day To Day if you as a family prefer OZ to Canada as Medical Skills are a defo fast way into OZ but not sure if she will have to sit an English test.
