The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is the Australian federal agency responsible for the regulation of private and commercial flight. It was established on 6 July 1995 when the air safety functions of the former Civil Aviation Authority of Australia were separated from its other regulatory functions (which then went to Airservices Australia).

CASA licences pilots, ground crew, and aircraft and airfield operators; and is responsible for enforcing safety requirements under the Commonwealth Civil Aviation Act 1988 and the Air Navigation Act 1920. Although a corporate body distinct from the Australian Government, CASA is responsible to the Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government .
