I'm interested in joining the Australian Air Force (since the Ozzie's actually have a decent Air Force where I can use my hard earned university degree) but I'm not too sure if I am able to join from NZ without actually living in Oz at the moment.
I was wondering if there is anyway to get through the selection process and get a job offer without moving to Oz yet?
Thanks for any help.

What did the Ozzie airforce have to say about it?

I haven't called them yet since I don't really know what what their number is and their website does not have any email addresses to ask. They did sent me an information pack today but that only has their number on it.Originally Posted by imdying
I might try and call later if I have no luck contacting someone directly. There is nothing on their website saying how to apply from outside the country/ if it is possible to.

21 minutes between your first and last post... think you'd have the answer by now if you'd rung them?

No idea what the academy is for... you'll have to figure that outNationality
You'll need to be an Australian citizen or hold Permanent Residency Status with the intention of gaining Australian citizenship once you are eligible.

Do I have to be an Australian Citizen?
For full time or part time entry, citizenship requirements will be satisfied if you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident eligible for Australian citizenship.

Aargh, photos!
NZ citizens can be considered as a permanat resisdent. on the armed forces application. That was from the mouth of a recruiter I met in Darwin. It is up to certain individuals though. Same deal as for the Aus police, Army and Navy.
As for living there, I don't know. I presume the same deal as someone who does live here, you get barracks accomodation. Best bet is to ring them. Would be surprised if you are the first to ever ask this question.
Good luck bro.

Thanks for that. I have emailed Australian immigration to see what their take on the matter is so will hopefully get it sorted out.

Awwww, that's a shame... they're very elegant in a way that the modern designs will never be

As far as I know though. You will not be able to be deployed until you have Aussie citizenship, and thats a long and painful process.
Check that though, thats just what I knew from joining the NZ army

My cousin wasn't allowed to join the Australian Army until he had lived in the country for 2 years.
