Only just found this post from whirlpool, it nice to find people who have gone through the same thing as I have... I applied back in September 2008, and (3-4 weeks ago) was offered a melbourne based position which started a few days ago, or brisbane based one next march which I accepted, assuming the course will be run (someone posted something similar to this before, i hope this isn't a bad omen)
Good luck to all, it has been a very long process and although I have another 5 months to wait before I start, at least at this point I have a verbal offer... waiting on the merit list was irritating as I really had no idea if I was going to be offered a job at the end.
146 days to go...
If anyone else has been accepted to the march 1st 2010 intake, (i'd assume it’s the same one as I'm in) please send me a PM. It would be nice to get to know a couple of you before hand, go out for a drink if you’re in brisbane etc.
