Yes,
Virgin Blue does take non Australian born tech crew. However, all foreign pilots have to have the right of abode in Australia. In other words, your boyfriend will have to emigrate. Virgin Blue will not help in him getting a Visa (unless of course, he has qualifications that no one else in Australia has and VB desperately want them.. etc) Immigration Dept.
To get the Australian ATPL, look here. There's a couple things to note though. Many Australian companies will not accept conversion ATPLs and suggest that he does all Australian ATPL exams to cover himself. If he holds a German ATPL (JAR ATPL) then perhaps he may be ok. Best contact VB directly.
Also, I believe examination/license requirements are going to change (again) in ~2006.
