IHRSA recommends that gyms only hire personal trainers who hold NCCA accredited certifications.
I am sure that your Australian credential is not accredited through the NCCA. Havng said that, there are American certifications that are not NCCA accredited that have value and where it is possible for the fitness instructor to purchase insurance. Too many of these fitness instructors who hold these credentials have not had difficulties finding work.
You just to be concerned with 1) whether the gym you want to work at will recognize your credential and 2) whether you will need to be able to secure insurance and that is possible quite easily (unfortunately) and 3) your working visa.
