Some Airlines and the Defense Forces offer some traineeships for pilots, but many pilots do their own private pilot training through an Aero Club.

Once you have a Commercial Pilot’s License and have accumulated enough flying hours, you can apply to an airline for a job. Talk to a locally-based flying school or ring the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).


You could also go into one of the trades at a major Airline, gain experience there and then look to cross over to pilot training.


Wages

Your pay rate will be dependent upon the enterprise activity of your potential employer and you will need to discuss wage rates with them.
