Have now looked into it in detail and pretty sure I can get in direct through a Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175), or failing that I have relations in Oz so a Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176) is perhaps the easier route? Surprised at the cost though, pretty steep at £1000. Is it likely that some bushflying/scenic ops could eventually be found for a raw CPL or is IR required? I know there are opportunities in Africa, though Oz would be good for my other half as she loves the idea and would also be able to work.
