Forget about notices, nice e-mails, long lead time, etc - that's not how they typically do business - you'll get your notice when and if they want you - with practically no lead time-better have your ducks in a row and ready to show up immediately if you want the job (my own personal experience). Communication with applicants is not a priority.
Not strictly true;my induction process (into SIAC), a few years back was courteous and informative all the way. Lots of communication and no real pressure. Course start date offered was when it suited me. Mind you,those were in the early days of the SIAC programme.
