There's absolutely no reason to be embarrassed about being in need of work! Nearly everyone is in that boat at one point or another.
As the others have said it is a shame you're not in Sydney there is a huge demand for males in childcare and teaching areas! I am an early childhood teacher and any centre in our area would love a highly experienced person, particularly a male to be employed with them.
Have you thought about doing casual work, particularly within the early childhood field (pre schools ect...if you'd like to work with young children)? There are lots of places you can sign your name to and they call you to do casual work. Or call your local council or local centres and ask if they have a casual pool.

Have you tried putting up an ad with your phone number at the bottom on local noticeboards for odd jobs? I see these all the time for things like lawnmowing/gardening, babysitting, typing, etc. and people have always pulled off at least half of the phone numbers on the bottom. This could help bring in a little bit of money until you find something more permanent. Also my DP would recommend going into Centrelink and using their resources to help you get a job if you can.
have you thought of looking into opening your own family day care? You dont need any qualifications to do that, (obviously they prefer it if you do) then you can work your own hours, around your own family.
I wouldnt imagine you would have any problem getting clients, it is such a sort after thing.
