I Can tell you 100 percent absolutely categorically that provided you have an a320 endorsement, you can do an instrument rating at Ansett. no affiliation with any airline required. Many Aussie pilots flying airbus in Europe, middle east and Asia come and do their renewals at Ansett to keep it valid.
You can do the written irex via a third party on the net.
If anyone doubts me, well, ring Ansett, 03 9373 8000, and just ask them.
