Re: Citizenship Waiver defence ADF etc

My understanding is that any UK security clearance is of no value here. Every job vacancy I've seen where Defence is concerned (and for similar areas such as police, customs etc) requires the...

Re: Avionics technician/aircraft electrician

I know that the QDS website (http://www.qds.qantas.com.au) says that PR is a requirement but as you'll notice from many of the comments on here, it is not unusual for them to sponsor qualified people...

Re: Avionics technician/aircraft electrician

No, you don't always need PR. Many of the guys here are ex-RAF and were sponsored by the company on a 457 Temp Visa. Almost all get their PR within the first year or so. The UK security clearance...

Re: Avionics technician/aircraft electrician

The good news for any AME, be it airframe or avionics is that there is loads of work here but I will echo what has previously gone in that the pay is not great. I work for the defence arm of Qantas...

Re: australian royal air force

Life in the RAAF seems very similar to the RAF, both good and bad. Both organisations suffer from being under resourced and a lack of manpower so if you're expecting the RAAF to be like the RAF was...

I'm not in the RAAF but work on an RAAF base just ouside Sydney. The RAAF is almost identical to the RAF in nearly every respect.
