You mean citizen? If you're working in Europe chances are you won't be resident in Australia (without telling porkies and half-truths) which effectively bars you from being listed on the VH register, doesn't it?
Wouldn't you be better off looking at registration via a company in some former soviet-bloc, now EU country? The Czech Republic or Lithuania are two that spring to mind. I also know that a Romanian registered LET-something-or-other operated out of Headcorn for meat bombing duties.
