Hi - any welfare workers/youth service out there?

Hi All
We're having a bit of a freak out about migrating.....as is probably normal!
We have started the visa process and if successful we will be going out to Oz as a family of four, with no job waiting when we get there. We don't even know where to go yet - but we have a brother in Sydney. This is obviously a concern....so I'm trying to find out as much as poss.

My Hubby is currently working within youth service in UK as a drugs education co-ordinator. He has years and years of experience in the youth service/local government and is well qualified over here. I have heard welfare work is quite poorly paid - which is a worry. Does anyone have any experiences they can share to help us get more of an idea about the work scene. I have searched a few gov. websites and there seem to be quite a few opportunities but usually the wage is disclosed.
Thanks:)
