Chocks Away
I think you may be getting confused with what is and isn’t an ICAO recognized license. Australia’s flight crew licenses have always been ICAO recognized. It has just been the lay out of them that has been in question. Up until last year Australian flight crew licenses were in a credit card format, which didn’t comply with ICAO recommendations for laying out an ICAO flight crew license. They are now in a book format, which does comply with ICAO recommendations.
