In the past Qantas has had passes in all Australian theory subjects required.
No idea if this will change for future intakes.

I've been in contact with CASA regarding the conversion:
- 3 ATPL Conversion Theory exams required
- MCC course (may be waived if they consider previous airline exp).
- ATPL flight test, the same as a CPL to ATPL upgrade test.
The flight test is really the hookup, working full time overseas; trying to arrange a 777 sim, CASA ATO, time off work and colleague also with time off to come sit in the other seat. Easier said than done.
The way I see it, holding a CASA CPL / MECIR AND a foreign ATPL with the 3 conversion theory credits puts you in exactly the same position as holding a CASA CPL / MECIR with the 7 normal theory credits. Simply waiting for the flight test to effect the upgrade in both cases. However I dare say the airlines won't see it that simply.
Hopefully find the time to just do the flight test soon.
