Great Barrier Reef Heli were recently looking for a 206 pilot (see AfAP) but if its your fisrt job im sure the housr are a bit far away just at the moment, its true one of the owners is female and one of the pilots is female not only on the r44.
Their only R44 however is to pick up the extra work only, and the majority of the time one of the engineers with his cpl takes care of it when its required.
I do believe like somelese posted that being a female will help and as long as you can fly the machine above all else in a safe manner male or female means nothing.
It took me 18 months of giving up almost every weekend at my training school as a hangar rat to get a start, be patient and you'll have no regrets. You will be able to feed yourself and of course the beers are a nessecity but don't expect to live to lavish early on.
All the best keep it in the green
