2025 Scholarship Winner Profile - Janice Wong

Janice completed the RePL and Sub-25kg training with Toll Aviation. She also passed her AROC exams.

"This training is really important for me and my career because it opens up a lot of opportunities within my company. The UAV industry is growing fast, and my company works with many UAV partners and projects. Even outside of my company, more organizations are starting to use drones. For example, Surf Life Saving is using UAVs for safety and surveillance. By completing this training, I’ve built the skills I need to be part of these exciting projects. It also makes me more valuable to the team as we design and build drones for different companies. This experience has really strengthened my knowledge in this space and opened doors for me to work on more advanced projects in the future. I feel more confident now to contribute to UAV development and support my company’s growth in this industry".



"I’ve already emailed a few line managers to let them know I’m interested in getting involved with upcoming projects. I asked them to keep me in mind and involve me where possible. I’m really looking forward to putting my new skills to use and contributing to future UAV projects".

Janice currently works at Nova Systems as an aerospace engineering consultant. "I’ve always had a strong interest in aviation and was fortunate to join Nova as a graduate, which opened the door to exciting flight-test and system integration opportunities in both the commercial and defence sectors. I’m also looking forward to getting my private pilot licence, which will give me a deeper operational perspective and help me contribute even more effectively to test and evaluation activities".
