The NSW Writers Centre runs an eight-week course in Editing & Proofreading.
It attracts people wanting to get a start in freelance editing, and are
often keen to take on work to get started. I did the course earlier this
year and many participants were English teachers looking for a hobby that
pays.
The Writers Centre <http://www.nswwriterscentre.org.au> produces a magazine
and a weekly email newsletter where you could advertise.
