I'm trying to contact anyone who is a US citizen and has experience working in IT abroad, specifically as a SQL Server DBA. I'm interested in either working somewhere in Europe, London for example or Australia on a contract basis, possibly 6 months or so.
Since I'm unfamiliar with the process of working abroad, work permits, visas etc. I'm looking for anyone who has information or can talk about their experiences. Thanks!

You can go to Monster.com and see if there are international jobs available. Yes in most cases you need a working visa in most countries (except Canada). The company that hires you is responsible to apply one for you.

You might want to check out U.S. Government jobs at usajobs.com. I'm currently working for the government in Germany and it's been great.

You might find it a little difficult to work in the UK unless you find a company who wishes to hire you that needs to prove they can't find a British person to do the same job.
I'm not too sure about the rest of Europe but I think there have been some new visas that allow people from the US to work in Australia and vice versa.

For UK, there is one visa called HSMP. it is point based system same as canada. If you can qualify for that point system then you can get permit to work in UK. Please check home office web site of UK.
