Which organization is responsible for safety regulation of civil air operations in Australia?

The main idea is identifying who regulates safety for civil aviation within Australia. In Australia, that role is fulfilled by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). CASA is the government body charged with setting safety standards, issuing licenses and certificates (airworthiness, flight crew, maintenance), and overseeing operations to ensure safe civil aviation. ICAO operates internationally, creating standards and recommended practices, but it does not regulate safety within a country by itself. The FAA is the United States’ aviation authority, not Australian. CAA can refer to aviation authorities in other countries, but in Australia the responsible regulator is CASA.
