I'm the Secretary/Treasurer of the Society for Medical and Biological Engineering of New South Wales. SMBE(NSW). Biomedical positions do come up regularly, particularly in Queensland.
If you email me with some brief experience and personal details I can forward them onto our members who may know of a current position. Also check our web site,
www.smbensw.org.au as it advertises the occassional position.
I'm not familiar with our work visa or permanent resident situation, it would be best to talk to our embassy in Britain or check their web site.
