Mate I see them in Geelong all the time.

If you can, get a pre-appenticeship course with RACV. I dont know what the numbers are like, but you are gauranteed a job after it at a RACV certified shop.

Start knocking on doors, you never know what you might end up with. Start by asking around, maybe work experience and see whats on offer. Let them know you're keen and it will go a long way. Good Luck
