CASA is currently undertaking a future aviation horizon scanning activity to identify key technological and other developments that are expected to have significant impacts on Australia’s civil aviation operations over the coming 3-10 years.  The scanning activity will inform CASA’s strategic regulatory planning to position CASA to provide timely regulatory support to Australian industry and the community. This work is being undertaken by a new ‘Future Strategies Taskforce’ in CASA.

The principal inputs are expected to be finalised prior to 31 May 2022.

CASA is seeking to identify suitably qualified and experienced individuals or organisations that CASA can draw on for input into horizon scanning and strategic planning activities.  Diversity of expertise is important, and we encourage individuals and organisations with relevant skills, experience and qualifications to apply.
