Welcome to Expat.com

You first need to see if you qualify for a visa. For visa information and applications www.immi.gov.au 

Just be aware that unemployment is rising as is the cost of living. Employers will look to hire locals not overseas applicants.  For cost of living www.numbeo.com
You may want to consider a student visa and taking a course which will be of value when you finish and are looking for work. On a student visa you can also work part time. Good luck.
