Australia's aviation safety authority will establish a "flyer's licence" and mandatory registration for drones from July this year, coinciding with a world-first drone food delivery business to be run out of Canberra.
Key points:

  • Drone flyer data will be kept in a database to track users
  • Those with drones of more than 250g will have to pass an online education course
  • A drone delivery service is set to begin operation in Canberra once CASA approves it


For the first time, anyone in Australia who wants to fly a drone (over 250g) will have to be accredited by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

CASA is also working on a real time network that can track drones in the same manner that aircraft are tracked.
