Hi Everyone,
I would just like to share my experiences and costs with all of you so that we all don't have to learn twice.
I'm on my way to getting my rotary CPL and have found it pays to shop around.
To get your student licence you will first need to get two passport photos.
DAME $198 for Class 1 medical.
Blood tests taken by DAME $43
ASIC form $201
CASA Student licence $50
DAO eye test $467
The DAO that I saw just so happens to be the most expensive. After a ring around I found quoted prices from $130 all the way to $467. The average cost being around $230.
It has also be explained to me post medical and eye test, that if I went to my GP first and got a referral for both services then I could reclaim some of the cost from Medicare.
So all up you are looking at an outlay of around $722 - I spent $959, lucky me .
