A little off topic but something that may be of help is a book called ' The Australian Writers Marketplace.' Why I think it may be helpful is that it lists every magazine in Australia along with contact details of relevant people. The book has obviously been written for freelance journalists but also has information about photo submissions for some magazines. IT is updated every year. For example if I look up Yen magazine it tells of the address, phone number, email, circulation, target readership etc etc. It also tells you what kind of submissions they accept. Like I said, it is made for freelance journalists but you may find it helpful. You can buy it online from the Queensland Writers Centre. Well worth the money.

That book sounds very useful for pitching PR to magazines, I'm going to look into it myself! (EDIT: Looks like its available online: http://www.awmonline.com.au/)

Corrine, contributors are normally paid per word, with an agreed length of the article in advanced (ie: 400 words, 800 words). I've found success through approaching a publication with an existing story, and I've also been a freelance contributor, being given stories to write - so don't be afraid to try either option to get your foot in the door!

As far as 'landing a job' goes, the freelance route seems the most well worn. Develop a reputation for returning high quality copy on time for one or multiple publications, and you'll be in a good position to move into an on-staff position. Freelancing is a pretty fast moving treadmill if you want to support yourself full time on it, so I wish you luck!
