i hope we do actually see a pilot shortage in Australia one day. A genuine shortage that entails aircraft being parked even after every single qualified Aussie pilot that is looking for a job has been employed.
While they are able to remain picky in Oz regarding soft skills there really isn’t a genuine shortage at all.
Best of luck.

There will never be a pilot shortage in Australia. The powers that be (govt) will change the rules following lobbying from powerbrokers (airlines) to allow the unrestricted employment of international pilots regardless of skill level (CASA will turn a blind eye because they are controlled by the govt) well before there is even a sniff of a pilot shortage in Australia.
