1. Operational crew (entering Australia as a crew member and departing as crew or a passenger) must hold:

• a valid passport; and

• an Airline Identity Card; and

• be listed on the Custom Form 3 Crew Report (previously known as the General Declaration) signed on behalf of the air carrier.

Operational crew are able to remain in Australia for 30 days and do not need a visa if listed on the Crew Report.
 

2. Positioning crew (entering as a passenger and departing as a member of the crew) must hold:

• a valid passport; and

• a letter from the employer certifying that the person is an aircrew member, setting out the purpose of travel and the arrangements
  for the person to leave Australia.

Positioning crew are able to remain in Australia for 5 days and do not need a visa if holding a letter from his/her employer certifying their
status and purpose of travel.

3. For Medivac flights, medical staff can be included on the Custom Form 3, provided they comply with the above requirements.

4. The view of CASA is that the flight crew need to meet the legislative requirements of the country in which the aircraft is registered.
Therefore the flight crew would need to hold any licences and ratings mandated by the FAA or other legislative body for the type of
operation being conducted.

This is subject to change, and for current requirements please check with Australian Customs.
