The ABS’s most recent Estimated Resident Population figures show that there are 526,040 Australian residents born in China, up from 387,420 over the previous five years.

(That includes male and female)

The 2016 Census found Australia is home to more than 1.2 million people of Chinese ancestry. Of these, two in five (41 per cent) were born in China,

Since around 2000 Australia has had migration levels averaging around 150,000 places.

England and New Zealand have the highest migration levels by country of birth - England is about double that of China.

If you many a local girl to get the door to open - it will most likely be around $10,000 donation to the government. But the process of your application could take over two years, during this wait you get full working rights via the Bridging Visa A you are granted. You would have a hard time getting employment as a pilot on this temporary visa, and it would need to be Qantas domestic only as the Bridging Visa A has no travel facility - you would need to apply for a Bridging Visa B to travel.
