Another way of getting a foot in the door is to join a local/near by NSW RFS Aviation Support as a volunteer. You'll get to work up and close with aircraft when in operation. Training is provided (though you'll need to set aside a weekend but transport, food and accommodation is provided) during Winter/Spring at different locations.
I joined in March last year, undertook training in Nowra and only did two operations during the season (so far). Some volunteers have been lucky enough to get paid roles in aviation outside of the NSW RFS, while others have gotten a paid role in the NSW RFS.
