Hi Debs,Dave and Kids.
We have just began the process of moving to Oz :P and my partner is a floor fitter (floor finisher over in Oz). we had the same concerns with job prospects also, i do social work here but my partner (peter) will be the main income over there initially. we also have a 9 year old son. we have reseached a lot with the flooring trade over in Oz and it does appear to be in demand at the moment. Peter specializes in Laminates and Karndean, not exactly a floor tiler. We found a web address which lists over 500 jobs might be worth a look.
