Hi Chris
He should try going through an employment/labour hire agency. They've got heaps of work going, and they're usually pretty quick to find something for you. I walked into the office for a chat with one of the people on a Thursday and ended up starting as a Gardeners assistant in Melbournes parks the Monday after, even though i've no qualifications in that area! 800 bucks a weeks, and can leave when i want. Perfect for a backpacker!
Here's the website for the one i'm with (probably one of the best from what i've heard, in Melbourne) :

Do a quick internet search and you'll find heaps of others for both cities. Some are specifically for backpackers. Be advised though, some of the work can be quite hard. I was working as a removalist for a few weeks before i got this one.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
Gav
