Many of the young people who come to Australia with a student visa to study and work have worked at some point as a cleaner in Australia.
The reason? Because it is an easy-access job, well paid (around $24 AUD/hour depending on the city) and with high demand. It is true that it is not a very qualified job and that it may not be the job of your life, but if you have just arrived and are interested in starting to work as soon as possible but you still do not have a sufficient level of English to work facing the public, it will probably be the ideal job for you.
There are websites on the internet to look for work as an independent cleaner. For example, a very good one is Helpling.
You can register online in a simple way, select the area where you want to work and the days and hours you are available. That way, if someone is interested in hiring your services as a cleaner, they will know where and when you will be available, and they will contact you to hire you. Many times, in less than a week you can already see yourself with the gloves on, the mop, and your first Australian salary.
If you still do not have fluent English, do not let that stop you from coming to Australia. You can come with a student visa, enroll in an English course and work part-time as a cleaner. Very soon your level of English will improve and, if you prefer, you will be able to find other more qualified jobs.
