Remote can be a tough one, and I haven't personally worked full time remote. My first job was in office and my current job is only part time remote after a period of full time in office when I first started. I don't know your exact level of experience, but from what I have heard from recruiters and colleagues in Australia, remote tends to be offered to more experienced developers, as when you are a junior the expectation is that you will need a little more guidance from the team until you build up your skills and reputation. I would personally recommend an in office job when starting out if it is possible for you, simply due to the amount you learn by working side by side with your team members.
If you are set on full time remote though, make sure you have a solid portfolio of work that demonstrates a range of skills and a proactive attitude to learning. If you can also demonstrate collaboration with a remote team, e.g. a personal or freelancing project where you collaborate with a designer, that would be even better!
