There are a few ways to convert your overseas pilot licence to an Australian one.
If you have an overseas licence and:
- plan to fly in Australia for longer than 12 months – you can apply to convert your foreign licence
- are only here for short-term aviation work – you can apply for a Certificate of Validation
- are New Zealand flight crew – you may be able to convert your licence or qualification under special rules.
Always check our advice before you fly to Australia in case we update it.
