Television/Film Work in Sydney - Greatful For Any Leads

Hello,
I'm moving to Sydney on a working holiday visa this spring & hoping I can find work in televsion (or film) that might lead to something longer term. (My girlfriend is an Aussie) I'm a researcher/ chaser/ junior producer/ production coordinator with experince in promotion, programming and daily entertainment televison. I've been working long-term with Canada's top television network.

I'm seeking:
Stories from people in similar situations
Suggestions of who might be hiring, or where opportunities might exist
Mentorship & introductions to media contacts in Sydney

I would be greatful for any help.
