I wonder if Australia suffers from the same 'no local experience' bias 
against immigrant workers that Canada does? The professional body in 
Ontario, equivalent to the one I was a member of in the UK, takes great 
delight in having *no* reciprocal agreement with foreign equivalents.

There are a heck of a lot of skilled immigrants delivering pizzas and 
working as night security guards in Toronto. I'm sure the same can be 
said for any big Australian city.
