US CPA vs CPA Australia vs ACCA – Best Choice for Jobs & PR in Melbourne?

Hi everyone, I’m planning to pursue Master’s in Accounting in Melbourne, Victoria, and I currently work at Deloitte with an audit background. I understand that just a degree and work experience may not be enough, so I’m planning to pursue a professional certification alongside/after my master’s. I’m confused between US CPA, CPA Australia, and ACCA are they equivalent or completely different in terms of recognition and career outcomes? Which one offers better job opportunities and PR prospects in Australia, especially in Melbourne? Would really appreciate insights from anyone who has taken this path or is currently working in Australia.

Thanks in advance!
