That would be for his current job, would not be able to use that for flying a light aircraft in Australia. Foreign crew in Australia cannot access airside with their ICAO crew certificate, they have to get someone with an ASIC to give them entry, and at time also escort them.
That is the knee jerk reaction made in Australia post 9-11.
