Hi Jimmy,
The first question you need to ask yourself is were do you intend to work after your licence in Australia or UK.
IF you decide to come out to Australia, you can get a student visa pretty much straight away providing you find a school and they help you out with the paperwork, you can not work with the student visa.
The next easy part is parting with your hard earned cash, once you have your licence, unless you can get a permanent visa or business visa your option are very limited- have the student visa changed to a tourist visa or leave Australia.
Students that I know have tried everything to stay in Australia on completion of there licence, but have failed and gone back to UK and japan with a useless licence as caa do not recognise the casa licence but do let you use the hours gained
immigration have removed pilots from the skilled ocupation list , therfore can not use this to stay.
Other options are USA or stay in the UK and learn there.
Hope this helps.
If you have any other questions let me know
