6: Civil Aviation Safety Authority Employee Reviews

Good place to work but communication needs work. There is a lot of bypassing of process and people trying to go over heads to get their way. Typical government job I guess.

If you're not 'in' with the in crowd, they will make your life hard and unpleasant.

Research and Analyst Officer (RPAS) (Former Employee) - Canberra ACT - 10 February 2022

I should of moved on to other job opportunities as soon as possible. Opportunities to advance are very few and far between. You will end up going crazy if you stay there too long.

Pros

Cons

Management change their mind every 2 seconds.

Executive Management poor

Flying Operations Inspector (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 23 March 2019

CASA has the ability to be a great place to work, however, the senior executive management team are extremely lacking in their ability to be open and honest with staff. They say one thing but secretly have a hidden agenda that causes great animosity with staff.

Pros

Government benefits

Cons

no direction - job uncertainty

Passionate people. Difficult position - btw operators and Gov

Manager Safety Management Systems (Former Employee) - Brisbane, Australia - 20 January 2014

Performed a variety of roles at CASA - education specialist, inspector, manager. Helped aviation operators develop their processes and approaches - in Australia and internationally. Developed and lead the implementation of world-class aviation standards. Represented Australia at aviation arm of UN (ICAO). I grew from novice to recognised authority on area of interest - for which I am grateful. Management and co-workers largely passionate about safety and aviation. Difficult balance between supporting and enforcing safety outcomes. Helping our Asian friends develop modern effective safety practices was my most enjoyable achievement.
