My impression is that jobs in astronomy are as rare as hen's teeth. I imagine that if you want to work in the field you will need a good PhD. (The alternative is to wind up doing IT support because you learned about computers on your way through.)
Getting a good PhD requires, amongst other things, a successful supervisor. Do your homework. Look at who is who in the field and where they teach. Look at publication histories; you will need to determine which journals have the highest impact factors. Look at ARC research grant success and to which facilities they have access. Then go to their uni.
