Crossing from Freight to Pax on Oz basing

Hi there,
I am hoping someone in the know could answer a question about transferring between Freighters and Pax on a base (in this case Australia). I understand if you start on the freighter you are locked in for three years from end of training. Is there anything stopping you from completing your three years and then transferring to pax on a base...with the exception of seniority? So if you did three years and you wanted to go across to passenger flying, you just have to sit out until your seniority is such that you can bid across? Does the company have some clause that may lock you in to freight beyond three years?
At the risk getting WAY ahead of myself, if you eventually got a command on the freighter, is there anything to stop you from bidding across to a passenger command ONCE you have the seniority to do so? Or is it structured that freight to pax transfers on a base are difficult to accomplish?
I realise a whole bunch of questions there, but would greatly appreciate any constructive responses.
Thanks in advance.
WG
