Sneetch, depending on why you failed your medical, is it worth looking to the US or elsewhere abroad, where conditions may be a little less stringent than Oz (is anywhere?), to see what the CPL options are?

Don't give up too easily. I did, back in the 70s - I was told my eyesight wasnt good enough (though it was ok for UK PPL Class II). What I should have been told was to go get an FAA CPL licence. If I'd done that I might have had a career in aviation rather than a spare-time addiction.

...But come to think of it, maybe I wouldnt have loved it as much as I do if I'd had to do it as a career......

Whatever, keep exploring all the possibilities, hang on to your dreams, etc etc
