It is pointless you asking about flying instructor jobs in Australia.

Before you get all excited in anticipation of a life in the sun Down Under:

Conversion of a foreign license.

Visas and immigration.

The facts:
  • You will need to convert your JAA license and instructor rating and obtain a Security Card - no simple task.
  • Unless you have an Australian right of residence or other qualifications, apart from flying, on our Skills in Demand list, the best you can expect would be a short term Working Holiday Visa with significant limits and restrictions on your ability to work as a pilot or instructor.

Solve those problems first, before you look for work.

Available work may depend upon whether CASA grant you a Grade 3, 2 or 1 Instructor Rating, most likely the lowest level Grade 3. The time, money and effort required to obtain an Australian Flying Instructor Rating may simply exclude that avenue of employment on a Working Holiday Visa unless you have buckets of money and heaps of time.

If it were that easy, everyone would be coming to Australia to work.
