Many agencies over here will sponsor, which means you can stay for up to 4 years. So you just finish probabtionary period on your holiday visa then get sponsored. however there are loads of short term contracts if you just want a bit of work and then travel around, so many aussies go overseas meaning there is a bit of a shortage of staff.
Depending on what you want to do I would try and apply direct before you come over. Recruitment consultants are slack over here. However some good ones are La Volta for anything digital, Sandy Oldham for strategy/planning (although I would go direct as the community is quite small) and Aquent for account service.
Hope that helps and give us a shout if you need any more advice
