Sounds good yes, but I personally think it is just that, a Rumour..!
Even their website does not show Vacancies, just the following:

JETSTAR PILOT POSITIONS
The role of a Jetstar pilot can be very demanding with every day bringing new and exciting challenges. You will need a mature attitude, cool head and enjoy working in a team orientated environment.
Jetstar is continuing to expand with future growth opportunities for its Australian operations. Jetstar currently operates a fleet of Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft. Today, the Jetstar fleet includes twenty-three brand new Airbus A320 aircraft and four Airbus A330 aircraft, with a further two Airbus A330 and nine Airbus A320 aircraft to enter service from mid 2007.
Long haul international services commenced in 2006 with an initial route structure between Australia and the Asia/Pacific region. This expansion has seen Jetstar operate an aircraft fleet encompassing A320s, A330s and from late 2008 the new Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner will begin entering service for our Long Haul operations.
We are currently accepting expressions of interest for pilot positions. By registering your interest with us, you may be considered for positions on the Airbus A320, Airbus A330 aircraft or Boeing B787 aircraft.

I heard the same rumour a month ago from an Aussie colleague who heard it from a friend who works at Jetstar, so there might be some truth in the rumour. I know for a fact that they have a serious shortage of pilots. Might want to contact them and ask?

Plenty of Saffers living in Ozmate.
The lifestyles are pretty similar with sport and the outdoors playing a big part, so no problem fitting in. The hardest part is having half the brain removed so they don't gag on their own tongues when shouting for the Wallabies...
Probably beats being stuck on that mudbank off Europe. We can always gang up on the Northern Hemisphere...

G'day Guys,
i- Robot raises some good points. Jetstar ask you to pay to register your application AND until recently pay for the cost of the " Skills & Psyche " test at stage one of the interview.
The amounts are $ 15 AUD to register and $ 195 for the S & P test.
This was even for some Airbus rated pilots, it has caused some angst here in Aussie and possibly the reason they are not attracting the applicants they wish to.
They may have changed the selection process since then.
Not at all trying to turn you guys off, just giving you a heads up on what they may propose thats all.
Good luck

Jetstar in Seth Efrika
Shame man....we have enough Yarpies in Oz as it is. I think every Aussie would agree that the Yarpies are a strange lot, with all there pleeeeasure man, shame, now now, just now. 
By the way better get use to actually pronouncing the some words properly such as Weber not weeeeber and its a BBQ not a Braai.
Anyway having said that, yes it is confirmed that Jet* are coming to SA and it's not because of experienced pilots, they can get them anywhere in the world. It's purely to do with Yarpies been cheap, experience has shown they will do almost anything to get into Oz. There are a lot of Europeans also who want to get into Oz but I dont see Jet* and QF doing roadshows in Europe. Plus records show that Yarpies are a bunch of YES man and dont have a spine, there are a very selected few who differ from that. Having seen the way your country is going im not surprised you want to get out, specially with Zuma lurking in the background as the new head honcho.
Good luck with all your applications, im sure with the shortage you guys stand a good chance. Try to remember you are coming to an open minded society......Shame man.

Take it easy guys - this conceited Ozmate is baiting for game. A review of his posts indicate an ex-Ansett type who's obviously unhappy with his own current lot, considering Cathay, Etihad and a few others for employment. Throw in a disdain for Saffers, an obvious hate for the Froggies, a large chip on his shoulder and he's your perfect welcome mat.

Solid Rust you better find another line, you've used that one twice. Half of Australia have no idea who the Wallabies are.
No doubt Go Right is operating on the fringe but there is a point to his comments.
There are plenty of Aussie pilots who are qualified for the jobs in Oz, both in airlines and GA. Jet* are using guys like you so that conditions don't have to be improved in Australia to attract Australian candidates. That makes people angry.
What makes them even more angry is when people live in their country but have no respect for it.
