Answer 2

we're looking to migrate to OZ too.

You can get into australia with your Qualification now, Under a 'skilled visa'.

Then you just need to register to get a state license

You will have to do some small training with the company you join, but thats normal.

Answer 3

Plumbers are now on the Migration Occupation in Demand List . You may need to upgrade your skills some to meet Aussie standads, but that should not be too difficult, and there will be some assistance given.
