Mate, things work pretty similar the world over for an engineer, the research you need to do is more so with visa and living arrangements.
In terms of your work, the situation is mostly the same, be it Canada, UK, Australia, in that you are expected to hold a professional attitude, and be good with your work. You will find Australians have strong work ethic reputations abroad, so you need to back that up.
Short of that, you merely need to be resourceful, and you don't necessarily need to go through recruiters. Get your resume up to speed, make sure it is within 2 pages so as not to waste others time, and advertise your skills and project work so as to give potential employment a good honest run down on your skillset.
Print it out 20-50 times, and go walk through the front door in professional attire and give it to reception, possibly ask to see if they are seeking help.
With a skills shortage of competent engineers, you will gain employment fast, and gain the margin a recruiter normally takes.
Every top 500 needs engineers, and google for the integration/IT comms companies in your city of settlement.
If you work with specialist sectors like network/comms, speak to the local distributors to find out what integrators work with those products.
Hope this helps.
