Please note:

• any individuals who are unable to meet the prescribed medical standards for air traffic controllers will be ineligible to be issued with an air traffic control licence by CASA and will be ineligible for ATC training and/or employment with Airservices
• if you have previously been rejected for initial issue of an air traffic control licence, had a licence suspended or cancelled, or had a certificate issued by CASA or Airservices Australia, you must speak to CASA prior to application.

Security clearance

You will also need to undergo a successful Police Records Check and obtain an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC).

These checks identify any past convictions, or present or pending criminal charges. If you have any doubts as to whether you will be able to satisfy this requirement you can either contact the Australian Federal Police or undertake your own criminal history check via the AFP’s application form.
