Best bet is to post on flight ops, crewing and dispatch thread or the DG Reporting Points Thread.

However, Australians dont need flight dispatch licences, I beleive its just on the job training with in house licencing. Companies that employ flight planners / flight dispatchers are:

-Virgin Blue (Navigation Services Officer) job quite often advertised on seek.com.au

-Qantas, but in limited numbers as they are now using LIDO

-AirPath / air New Zealand - they are contracted to do alot of flight plans for Australian regionals (Skywest / Alliance)

Load control Jobs - once again, no licences required, except for the ones individually issued by respective airlines once you are employed by a company. Companies employing load control officers in Australia are:

-Qantas - Load Control is centralised out of Melbourne and Sydney - they do all network load control from these two cities. Clients for Qantas load control include most overseas airlines that are handled by Qantas.

-Menzies - Menzies employ load control officers in Melbourne / Sydney / Brisbane - clients include Emirates / SIA / United

-Skystar - Skystar is a GHA operating in Perth and Brisbane. They do load control for SIA / Royal Brunei / Emirates

-Aero-Care - another GHA doing load control for clients based out of Adelaide and Sydney - major client is SIA.

Many other small operators employ load controllers however, its bloody boring doing trim charts for a F50 compared to a 777.

Anyway PM me if you are in need of further info.
