What are the requirements for the flight dispatcher job in Australia?

We don’t have dispatchers in Australia. We do have flight operations roles and these are frequently advertised Jobs

Most would require in depth knowledge and experience of Australian conditions and regulations (such as CASR Parts 119 and 138 respectively) to the extent any overseas qualifications would not be of use. Some of these jobs require 12 hours shifts.
Thanks so much for the reply! Looking at some guys on LinkedIn I see they have Faa licenses so I was assuming it was a co-authority environment like here. Never easy to find dispatch information so I appreciate the reply.

Following up, I do see this was partially answer before. Sorry for the redundancy!
