Re: chance of working in oz for overseas new grad with norther territory registration
Rural and remote are very different things.
Remote I'd be very wary about working in a remote setting without much experience, even for locally trained nurses - even if they were prepared to take you without a strong clinical background, there's often little or no support, including medical support. And by "little or no support" I mean it taking 4 hours for the Flying Doctors' Service to arrive.
Rural Usually more supported in a clinical sense, you may well increase your chances of finding employment if you're prepared to work further out. Just be prepared for small town life - friends who've moved from the towns they grew up in to other rural areas say it tkes a long time to fit in. Many of the nurses have grown up locally and worked at the hospital for decades. I'm not saying it can't be a rewarding and rich experience (and a JOB!), just that it can be hard.
