IRATA will let you work offshore, but you'll usually need some kind of trade and or lots of further training (riggers, confined space etc) to go along with it if you're planning on offshore.
ARAA or IRATA are both fine for working in towns and cities within Australia.
My vote is ARAA if you aren't worried about the offshore thing.
My understanding is your money will go to some Aussie blokes if you get ARAA, rather than some English Blokes if you get IRATA... |
