Answer 1

first thing to remember is if your talking about the round ball game .. most people still refer to it as Soccer ... despite officially the name being changed .. National team is still the soccerroos .. so make sure its not an 'Australian football club' that you approach

As for the thrust of your question .. Im sure your services will be enthusiastically received

Answer 2

Just contact the Gold Coast football league, tell them your qualifications and they may put you on a list of people to contact when a coaching position comes up next year!

Answer 3

Football in Australia, like the USA, is really taking off at grass roots level.  All I can suggest is forwarding a CV of your coaching quals and achievements to local clubs prior to your arrival.  Then when you get out there, get in their faces and show them what you can do.

Good luck, I hope things go well out their.
