Aviation is a unique industry and it takes a unique organisation to be able to successfully support aviation pilots. VIPA is that organisation.

VIPA is run by Virgin Australia Group pilots, solely for the benefit of Virgin Australia Group pilots. We do not represent other airlines or general aviation pilots.

Our focus is sharp.

We understand the issues.

Our aim is directed at enhancing the pilot profession and supporting pilots in the Virgin Australia Group.

As pilots, we are passionate about our profession. We have worked hard and we value assistance that offers protection, support and advice for our flying life. VIPA offers that assistance.

Join VIPA and let us take the journey with you…for your career.

VIPA Loss of Licence Fund (VLF)

Your VIPA representatives have created a simple, new and fair Loss of Licence (LoL) Protection product for VIPA members.

The VLF offers enhanced protection, with improved benefit amounts and availability for pilots in all fleets.

The Permanent LoL benefit does not vary with age, fleet, rank or salary.

EBA Negotiation

Your contract of employment is a very important document, and forms the legal basis for your appointment as a pilot for the Virgin Group.

An employment contract, or in our case, an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) is a very complex document which governs many parts of our work and home life.

Getting it right is paramount.
