Actually there are more and more people who are not from the main English-speaking countries teaching here these days, but they are often on spouse visas, dependent visas or student visas.

The issue you will face if you want to teach English is not so much being hired (although that would also be tough), it is the working visa. If you are not from one if the countries which has English as its main language, for Immigration to give you a visa allowing you to work as an English teacher, you must be able to prove that you have had 12 years of schooling in English (not just English classes, the language you were taught all/most subjects in should be English). If not, then no visa, and they are apparently very strict about this.

To tell you the truth though, if you are at that point a qualified, experienced teacher, your skills would be wasted on the usual teaching jobs here, which are basically unskilled. What you could do is apply to teach in internationals schools, where you would be a proper independent classroom teacher and be paid accordingly. You would have to focus on an area other than English obviously as many of your students would be native speakers. Maths, science, social studies for example.
