You should contact Fitness Australia (www.fitness.org.au) and they will be able to advise on what units can be cross-credited. There is a system for Recognised Prior Learning to take into account other qualifications.
The standard required in Australia is Certificate III and Certificate IV in Fitness

Hi Jen. Your best bet is probably to check out Australia's main fitness registration body to check if your qualifications are transferable.

Fitness certification required in Australia
by: Mark McGaw Institute of Sports Science

The Australian Fitness industry is Government regulated. You are required to have Certificate III SRF30206 in Fitness and Certificate IV in Fitness SRF40206.

If you have a Canadian Government statement of attainment that lists all the subjects that you have completed, you can receive recognition of prior learning against the units of competencies required for Certificate III and IV in Fitness. The units of competencies that you don't have recognition of prior learning for, you can do those remaining subjects by distance education and receive a full certificate and academic transcript of the full units of competencies of Certificate III and IV in Fitness.

We are a registered training organisation with the Australian Government that delivers personal trainer certification courses in Australia by online distance education and face to face seminars in Sydney.

The website for further information is http://www.CertificationFitness.com

Hope this has been some help to you. You will enjoy working in Australia, as the fitness industry is booming and fitness specialists are in demand.
