Where do you plan to live and work?
Seems to me doing a DM course in warm clear waters does not prepare one to teach in anything but warm, clear waters.
This goes double for someone with so little experience.
If you plan to move to Australia, then get certified there. If you plan to live and teach where you are, then get it done there.
Seriously, I would not hire anyone with less than 200 dives to teach me anything diving related. But everyone has to start somewhere.
Have you considered DIVING, and getting a couple hundred dives in BEFORE taking all this course work? Maybe experience does not count for much where you are at.. for me it's the exact opposite.
