Can I work in Australia?

How it works: Aeroplane pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers and flight attendants are on the Core Skills list, at AUD 79,423+; airport ground staff jobs are not listed.

Before you apply: Cabin crew usually pass the airline's medical, a background check and a safety course (some add a swim test); many set age, height and English rules. Pilots need a licence the local aviation authority accepts; some only validate a foreign one.

Watch for: Cabin crew pay must still reach AUD 79,423 a year; a working holiday visa allows only 6 months with one employer.

Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
