1) Pursue CFA(US based). However, it is not a significant add on. Correct?

 

2) Pursue Masters in Finance from Australia: Add on may be significant but it involves 2 precious years and the cost is also high.

I used to work for the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia in the education department. You would be best to contact the Institute direct. They would be able to answer all your queries. I also used to book exam venues all over Australia and overseas. There is a venue in Hobart and one in Launceston.
