You cannot look for work on a tourist visa. Visas cannot be changed. You have to be out of the country to get a visa changed.
If caught looking for work on a tourist visa you will be deported and not allowed back into the country for 2 years or more.

Working on a tourist visa is illegal mate, your visa will be cancelled immediately by the Border Protection in case they find you working and with that mark on your visa, you will not be enter AUS later anytime and it will be an impact in your all future visits to any country.

Hi Joshua, yes it is illegal to work in holiday visa. What is the best way to do is either you convert your holiday visa to student visa or work visa also holiday working visa.
