Actively hiring. Cabin crew roles posted regularly across Australian bases through 2026, including recruitment linked to A350 Project Sunrise and A321XLR/787 fleet growth; applications are online and heavily oversubscribed.
How long does the Qantas application process take?
Expect roughly 4-12 weeks from application to a decision, plus training and — for international bases — visa processing before your first flight. Silence beyond about six weeks usually means an unsuccessful file.
