Qantas QCCA - Wannabes & Recruitment II

[Exflightynz]

23kg - lift barbell to waist and then over the head, two times
32kg - lift weights in dugglebag to waist, two times


Really?? That is extremely heavy and unsafe weight to be made to lift over your head unaided. I don’t know when you would ever be made to lift that amount over your head In the role (it’s why hand luggage has a limit of 7-9kg) I was previously an international flight attendant for Qantas and my medical was nothing like this, this sounds more like a fitness test? My medial, was like a regular medical check up, BP check, drug test, BMI, ECG, hearing test these kind of things. They did make sure you could lift 23kg because that’s how heavy the emergency exit is. I am really surprised they are making people do this now it seems a bit intense now.

[Ta123]

Sydney :-) and you?

I'm based in Melbourne.

Oh ok thats not bad then. I think itll be the push ups that will let me down. Haha

[l395]

Also received xref email on Friday afternoon.. It did go to my junk email though so for anyone who hasn't heard anything, maybe check your junk emails too :)
Anyone have any idea on time frames for references, security, medical and US visa to go through before being offered GS or is this different for everyone? Just trying to figure out what sort of GS dates there are for this year is all :)

How far do they ask to go back for references? Last 2 employers?

[l395]

You at least need a current, or past employer/manager within the last 2.5 years and another within the last 5 years.

[islandwings]

Hi guys, Many months ago I applied for QF International BNE. So I have a quick question, what photos do we have to include with our application if we make it to AD? I received an email on Friday my application is still in progress which is a good sign. Thanks and all the best to everyone. :)

[Wingwing]

has anyone who applied Mel base as external heard anything yet?
my application says in progress

[KyleC89]

How far do they ask to go back for references? Last 2 employers?
They ask for a current employer/manager (last 2.5 years) and a previous employer/manager (up to 5 years)

[islandwings]

Hi all, what pics do you include with your CV that you hand in on AD? Two pics? A full length and a headshot? Just want to clarify. Do you need these to be professionally taken? Congrats to those who have made it into GS. Thanks :)

[leeleelevi]

has anyone who applied Mel base as external heard anything yet?
my application says in progress

Mel Based and external....Got my rejection email today :(

Good luck to the rest of you who are still waiting :)

[Ta123]

Oh no! Im so sorry. I didnt even realise They were going out so soon. Did you provide references or anything?

Which AD did you attend?

[Syd_flyer]

Hi there, has anyone heard anything since providing the two reference checks to X-ref?
Good luck to everyone whoever stage of the process you are at

[filthy rich]

Hi all, what pics do you include with your CV that you hand in on AD? Two pics? A full length and a headshot? Just want to clarify. Do you need these to be professionally taken? Congrats to those who have made it into GS. Thanks :)

I actually took one of myself through a mirror on my iphone. Full length and then sent it to my printer and printed it on A4 paper. Not professional at all.
The main thing I think is for them to have a clear photo of you when you are discussed.
I think I have progressed past references now as they sent an email yesterday asking for details required for background checks. AD was SYD 10/5..

[Syd_flyer]

Who else is waiting to hear after x-ref?

[FingersAreCrosses]

Hi - Again - it’s my weekly call out 🙄

Any Internal CC heard anything yet for Melbourne base?

Thanks in advance

[Atarafornow]

Nope, nothing at all.

[islandwings]

Who else is waiting to hear after x-ref?
What's x-ref exactly? Do Qantas call up the referees or do you get copies for ourselves to submit?
So exciting you are up to the reference stage. :)

[Lachlan.Turner]

People, if you are going to an assessment day here’s some advice if you want to fast track yourself. Have EXACTLY what they ask you to in the information letter.

don’t fall into the trap of saying “I will get an RSA if I get through” or “I will get a first aid certificate”. Have it with you. Have the signed swimming certificate with you if they have asked for it. Have EVERYTHING with you at the assessment day. So when the assessors check your documents they will put a tick next to every single criteria. DONE. Next stage for you. There were 7000 Applications for this current recruitment. Trust me, stay ahead of the pack by being ORGANISED!!

Its a FANTASTIC company and truly the best job out there.

Sooooo ... you seem to be “in the know”. Do you have any updates with what is happening for internal CC applications in Melbourne? We don’t need all the above, but I have seen you commenting occasionally. Any info would be nice 😊

Hi islandwings, X-Ref is the third party company Qantas use to conduct reference checks. Those successful at an AD leads to email communication from X-Ref (no contact from Qantas at this time) requesting you to provide at least two referees from previous employers. X-Ref contacts these referees and then forwards their responses on to QF. Hope that makes sense. Best of luck with the process.

Hi Island wings, Have you been invited to an AD for Brisbane?

[Flyskyhigh007]

Any updates past background checks for Syd applicants this round?
I’m just curious if we’re gonna be placed on hold or go straight through.

[l395]

I haven't heard anything more yet besides providing details to start the background check..

[filthy rich]

Same here. Got an email after providing references to provide personal details to progress to background checks. That was Monday week ago

[Ta123]

Has anyone had their references called?
just curious, I let my references know they may get called.

[islandwings]

Hi Island wings, Have you been invited to an AD for Brisbane?

Hello, no I haven't been invited to AD. Have you applied for BNE? It's a waiting game. My status still says In Progress. So hopefully I will get an opportunity. :) :)

[jwoww0502]

Some Brisbane applicants have been invited to the first lot of ADs already, not sure when they are. I got an email 2 weeks ago saying they are going to be looking at BNE applications coming up soon

Are they doimg more rounds?

[Flyer_]

hi everyone, I’ve been checking in on this thread for the last few weeks. Does anyone have any info about how long the background checks will take? I applied in March, attended an assessment day in April (Sydney), the next day I was asked to compete x-ref details and was sent a link to begin background check. 3 weeks later i got a call, I was congratulated and asked if I could attend ground school in May but unfortunately I could not resign from my current job in time and also my security clearance hadn’t even been submitted yet. It has been 3 weeks now since submitting the security clearance but no more news from qantas regarding another ground school date.

[sammow]

I applied for Brisbane base and just received this email. Has anyone received the same thing? Has anyone even been invited to an assessment day FOR Brisbane base?



"Thank you for your ongoing interest in the Qantas Cabin Crew Australia International Brisbane based position. We appreciate the time and effort you have put into your application to get to this point and are excited to let you know that you have been successful in progressing through to the next stage of our recruitment process.

The nature of the airline industry means requirements are often shifting. Unfortunately, due to a late change yesterday we no longer have a requirement for Brisbane based Flight Attendants and now instead require additional Flight Attendants to be based out of Sydney. We would like to give you the opportunity to progress your application further if you would like to do so for a Sydney based position. If not, we can leave your application in process for a Brisbane based position should positions arise in the next 12 months.
If you are open to considering a Sydney based position, we would like to invite you to attend an Assessment Centre next week. Please be aware that if you are successful in securing a Sydney based position you would be required to transfer to Sydney at your own expense and commit to that base for at least 12 months. In the future, should an opportunity come up to transfer to a Brisbane base, you could then request a base transfer through our internal process. Please be advised that base transfers are not guaranteed and will only be available as per business requirements. "

This hurts....
I applied for Brisbane base but I haven't received anything apart from that update mail a few weeks ago........was really wanting to have a chance at the Brisbane Base.

Will you go for the opportunity in Sydney? well done in getting further with your application :)

Ive been checking my emails every 5 mins 5hopefully we all hear something soon.

Good luck!

[l395]

I haven't heard anything yet besides providing details to get ready to complete background check.. I applied online in March for external SYD base, completed questionnaire in April, attended AD mid-May, completed XREF email a week later and received an email to provide additional information for background check on 22/5.. I am now waiting for the next stage also. Hopefully a few more GS are being prepared for this year :) good luck everyone

Hi Flyer_ Have you any updates when you log into your Qantas application portal to view the statue....how many green ticks / red crosses do you have?

[Syd_flyer]

Hey Ta123, What was the info they asked for have you submitted any passport/ID documents for the document checks or not yet? Best of luck

[katiemitchell]

Hi Flyer_ Have you any updates when you log into your Qantas application portal to view the statue....how many green ticks / red crosses do you have?
hi I got 1 green tick and it says OPEN
and then Status is : step completed

[Bella18]

Hi just wondering if anyone knows if there are anymore AD’s for Melbourne scheduled ? Unfortunately I wasn’t lucky enough to get invited to an AD last month however my application is still ‘in progress ‘. Best of luck to everyone whatever stage they are at. Thank you 😊

[sammow]

aviation_geeek I tried responding to your message but your inbox is full?

[aviation_geeek]

Hi Sammow, sorry I cleared my inbox. It only allows me 1 message at a time for some reason.

[Ta123]

Hey Ta123, What was the info they asked for have you submitted any passport/ID documents for the document checks or not yet? Best of luck
hey,
They just asked me to submit my country of birth, region of birth, date of birth, gender and citizen status- I think that was all. I havent heard anything else or submitted anything else. What about you?

Good luck to you too!

[islandwings]

Congratulations Sammow to progressing to the next stage. I've applied for Brisbane and only had the added info we received a few weeks ago appreciating our patience. Are you going to Sydney?

[islandwings]

Hi Issapu,
I'm the same as you. Just waiting for an email for a Brisbane AD. But it looks like they aren't going to recruit in Brisbane now. What's your thoughts? I have only the progressive thanks for being patient email too :)

[Flyer_]

Hi Flyer_ Have you any updates when you log into your Qantas application portal to view the statue....how many green ticks / red crosses do you have?
Hi Syd_flyer
Only two red crosses left - Auscheck results received and final qantas security clearance status.
Though it says auscheck application was only received on 28/5/19 so I feel I still have a few weeks of waiting.
They did mention they have multiple ground schools running throughout the rest of the year so I hope I don’t have to wait too long.

[ghiraldml]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone can provide me with any sort of insight in relation to the colour vision requirements for cabin crew for QF or any airline??

I have recently found out that I am colour blind (quite badly) and am in the process of applying for an airline. Just want to know if anyone out there knows any info of the medical requirements and whether I should be concerned?

If someone could please provide me with further information that would be AMAZING!!

Hey, Not really an answer to your question but kind of curious...how didn't you know you were colour blind? I'm not sure if this would matter for cabin crew or not?! Good luck xx

Have you done your medical yet. If so when did you do it?

[Jetsetterhopeful]

Hey everyone,

Got an invite for AD in Brisbane QCCA...anyone else going? I honestly don’t know how many people will be after they changed it to a Sydney position?

Good of luck to everyone else xx

[FlyAngelOz]

Hello,

New to the forum, been following all the posts ... waiting on more news and for Brisbane AD invitation. Latest messsage was the "thank you for your patience" ...and that there will be an update in due course ...

Jetsetterhopeful - when is your AD in Brisbane? are they still wanting crew for Brisabne base? or did you get an email in to do AD in Brisbane for Sydeny base?

Cheers and all the best !!!

Hi Jetsetterhopeful,
Congratulations on your invite to AD in Brisbane. Did the email come into your personal emails or on the portal? So are all the BNE AD's for positions in Sydney? I haven't received anything yet.
Best of luck! :) :)

[Jetsetterhopeful]

Congrats on the invite. Did your email say it was for Sydney only as well?

Thank you! Yeah...I got an email saying I made it through to the RD for Brisbane and then 2 days later I got another one saying they only want Sydney crew now! Lucky I’m young...I don’t know how people would do it with kids and responsibilities!

[Jetsetterhopeful]

Heyy,

Thank you, keeping fingers and toes crossed ahah! The email came to my personal emails come to my personal email and then I used the portal to select a date and confirm details! At the moment, yes, all the positions are for Sydney but who knows in the future if there will be more Brisbane positions...keep your head up though! No news is good news at this stage! I have friends in the same boat as you...my guess is they’re just doing the first round at the moment!

Hope this helps xx

Hi FlyAngelOz,

I'm lucky enough to have my assessment centre this Thursday...the options were either Wednesday or Thursday so I chose the later date. As far as I've been told, they no longer want crew for Brisbane base...they are only looking for Sydney based crew. The option was either withdraw and wait for future opportunities, or continue and relocate to Sydney.

Hope this helps and wish you all the best xx

[FingersAreCrosses]

GalleyHag;

Hi and thanks for the above information I’m new to this forum also and just been reading the EBA as I’m at the reference check stage. I’m just weighing up my options.

I’ve noticed there is also a standard daily travel allowance paid weekly of approx $56 and an overseas daily travel allowance of $64 is that right?? Is that paid in local currency at hotel or in your pay?? Thanks [/left]

Hiya, I have applied through QA for BNE which is in progress. Still I haven't been invited to an AD. How do you apply to MAM? I've tried to find it online and have had no luck. Just wondering if you could help me. Thank you so much. :) :)

Sorry my reply was intended for Hannah..? For anyone waiting on news hopefully you hear soon. If any positions were available through MAM they would be available on their website and the Qantas Workday website. My understanding is that BNE no longer require additional crew and that people that had applied and were being considered were contacted to ask if they wished to be considered for a SYD position.

It can can be a lengthy process, be patient and optimistic. respond promptly to communication from potential employers would be my tips.

All the best.

[Hannahflight]

Hi there Hannahflight, and welcome! when/where did you receive the EBA? Are you applying for a MAM position or QCCA?

the EBA is a public document. Anyone can read it just located on the fair work Australia website. I’ve applied for QCCA thanks

I dont have any of these so im really confused.

[l395]

Oh i get you, I don't have that category either, strange.. Im based in SYD. When did you apply?

Does anyone know how long after the AD it takes for rejection emails to go out?

[Bella18]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if there were anymore AD scheduled for this year. Unfortunately I wasn’t invited to the last AD that was held in Melbourne however I haven’t had a rejection email and my application is still ‘in progress ‘. I am still hopeful of getting to an AD and am wondering how long that might be .......... any update would be fantastic. 😊 thank you. Well done to everyone who has applied, it’s a long journey

Hi Sammow,

So you've had your AD? What was it like? Finger's crossed for you. I still haven't had any invitation to AD in BNE. Long wait and I've been told no news is good news.

[Ta123]

[QUOTE=Ta123;10488444] thanks :) how is your application tracking?
hey, so far so good. I have to upload docs for background. The only thing im worried about is the medical. I heard its pretty intense.
How did you go with your medical?

[l395]

Hey, did they end up getting back to you regarding this?

yay! I got mine too but I cant upload my 2nd secondary form of ID. I have uploaded a medicare card and I'm trying to find something else for my second one. I have emailed the talent acquisition team and I havent hear anything yet.

[sammow]

Just got my rejection email. Really Disappointing.

[islandwings]

Just got my rejection email. Really Disappointing.

Hey Sammow, Don't give up. Reapply again and again. You've obviously got what it takes if you got to AD. So just keep on reapplying and practicing for your next opportunity. You got this! :)

I agree with island wings :) you got as far as getting to Assessment day and who knows when they recruit for Brisbane *could be next year for all I know >__< and im sure by then you would have improved from this time, trust me a year goes by quite quickly, you'll get your next chance soon im sure :)

islandwings! im so sorry for my delayed reply, im still in the same boat as quite a number of Brisbane applicants, still haven't heard anything from Qantas yet. im very unsure how it will all play out to be honest, about 2 years ago I applied for Qantas Customer Check in Service officer and it still says "in progress" lol!!!! although I applied for the same role again 3 years ago and it said "complete"

so you can imagine whats going through my head when I see this kind of activity. im thinking either they are just going to go radio silent and not say anything at all until the next recruitment drive or if we're lucky to get any sort of reply which is what most of us are banking at the moment.

you asked me also what my thoughts are and im guessing they might be keeping a certain number of us for a potential recruitment day down the line during the year........(if lady luck is smiling upon us lol) which is why a large group of us haven't heard anything yet.

I also read on this forum that a large group of Cabin Crew International staff made an internal transfer to Brisbane Base which is why I think played a large factor for us not getting a AD.

therefore I feel during the year once they are comfortable with the numbers for their Brisbane base and know how much more are needed they will give us an invite to AD......but im guessing even if we are to get the call to AD it would be quite a long while till then (if we're lucky probably near the end of the year, but hopefully sooner ;__:)

thats just my two cents.......I could be totally off in my thoughts and predictions so take what I say with a grain of salt....

I wish the very best for all of us :)

[Skiesthedream]

Internals still yet to hear anything?
Anyone have any knowledge what or next step will be? If they are going to take any internals?
Any info that they haven’t forgotten about us welcome 😂

Hi BNE applicants. I just received this. I'm not entirely sure if they did any recruitment in Brisbane for BNE positions. I was really hoping for this opportunity. Wasn't to be.

Did anyone get an AD for a BNE based position? Congrats to all those in Syd & Melb going to GS. Hang in there BNE peeps. Hopefully we get an AD some day in the future for Brizzy! :) xx

Thank you for your ongoing interest in the Qantas Cabin Crew Australia International based position. We appreciate the time and effort you have put into your application to get to this point in our recruitment process. The nature of the airline industry means requirements are often shifting. Unfortunately, due to a recent change, we no longer have a requirement for Brisbane based Flight Attendants. Whilst we not have any further QCCA assessment centres scheduled in the immediate future, we will keep your application on hold and you will be invited to attend an assessment centre, should any further opportunities arise over the next 12 months.

Hi Issapu, thanks for your reply. It was much appreciated. :) I was so excited when the original ads went up for QF BNE CC. I thought, wow what an awesome opportunity. Anyhoo, down track, today I received this and I posted a message further down the feed. Did you get an AD opportunity for BNE? I got this:-

Islandwings ^_^ right back at ya :) thank u for ur reply ^^ I also received the exact same message as you this afternoon so also no AD for me either, although I was expecting this which kinda makes me believe once they know how many new Cabin Crew they have received from interstate and what they have got to work with, probably later down the track (maybe near the end of the year or abit after that) they might hold an Assessment day to fill in the gaps they may have open, although i do feel that it will be very fierce competition as alot of people want Brisbane and the opportunity to live in the sunny QLD.

after reading that email it says near the bottom if there is a AD within the next 12 months we will be invited......so at least we "made it" so to speak to the next stage lol!!! ,... I have a small gut feeling (i could be totally wrong) maybe near the end of the year they might start to talk about holding a AD.

but until that time, im just going to keep up the grind on my other stuff till then.......*i still have to loose a few more pounds and get abit more fit than I am now, so it might be a blessing in disguise LOL!!!!!"

This is by Far from over for us Brisbane Candidates.........dont feel discouraged guys, just be patient ........this is just a small road bump in our journey

I was really gunning for this opportunity also....but I ain't giving up....

im sure i'll see you guys at the AD one day in the near future :)

p.s a Congratulations to Sydney and Melbourne Crew that got through to the finals, and those who didn't get through, if u really want it you will get it. just dont give up :)

Hey everyone,

Is this process really confusing for anyone else? Like the time frames of things. I now have all green ticks for my background check yet I havnt heard anything regarding my medical.
Last time I spoke with talent acquisition they offered for me to start ground school in May but I was unable to give my current work 2 weeks notice so I had to say no to that date and am now waiting for a new ground school date.
When I spoke to talent acquisition about this she said not to worry as there are many ground schools going through this year, so it makes me wonder why I haven’t heard anything since.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hey,

I cant seem to message you back and it says you’ve sent me another message which I can’t see.

I actually havnt done the medical yet. Mayb I worded my last post a bit funny. When I was asked to start ground school in May I hadn’t done medical or even submitted my background check. I too am interested to know what the medical involves so if anyone can share info that would be great.

Now my background check is complete I guess I play the waiting game to be contacted to attend a medical and hopefully get a ground school date.

tryig to stay positive and hopefully I’ll be training by the end of the year :)

mine was the 3rd of may, I would've submitted my background earlier but I moved just before AD and had to get documents signed which took me a few days.

It does feel like its gone quick though, youll have to keep me updated on your progress.

Hi lovely people :-), I submitted my ID Services application on the 13th and it hasn’t moved one bit. It still says NA for “Application Received by AusCheck”. Is there anyone else experiencing the same? Or should I give ID services a call? Could this be a system glitch? What do you reckon? Thanks guys.

[Syd_flyer]

Anyone else heard any updates for SYD base? Passed all ID and Background checks a couple of weeks ago.
Have fingers crossed for some news soon.

I am on the same stage. didn't move to any tickle. but I am kinda scared of medical check.. PT test... still can't lift 23 kg... so I kinda like this slow process. I hit the gym everyday now ...

I’m in the same boat, have had all green ticks for a few weeks now.. so waiting patiently.

For anyone wondering, for me it took 2 weeks from submitting background check to having all green ticks.

Any internal cabin crew heard anything yet?? 😬

[mattandy]

Hey
Wow 2 weeks is really fast! I emailed the recruitment team and they said it generally takes 6 to 8 weeks and I should hear back about doing a medical once the background checks have cleared.

Maybe they're just waiting for more people to be cleared before organising training schools because they also told me in the email there will be quite a few being held this year.

Does anyone know how many people will be put on hold? And how it's determined who gets put on hold?

Thanks!

it was fast for me! Though initially my application had to be re-submitted as I didn’t have the correct documents sighted.
I hope that’s the case and we hear some news soon as I was told over the phone as well that there will be many ground schools commencing throughout the end of the year.

Hopefully no holds for us! Trying to stay patient and positive :)

If anyone from Internal or any current of past Qantas Domestic Staff members can be so kind and help me with answering this question.

what is the differences being a Domestic Cabin Crew opposed to being a International Cabin Crew? (apart from flying inside Australia and the other outside of it)

is the pay different? how many flights do Domestic staff do a day? would people aim to become a International Cabin Crew than being apart of Domestic?
you have more of a life being part of the Domestic Crew than International is what I heard and the contract is supposedly better? (i could be totally wrong its just something I heard)
also if there are other things that I left out please feel free to share if you like!

Currently I have received an email from Qantas saying that they are not currently recruiting International Cabin Crew for Brisbane BUT will invite me to an AD if positions are available in the next year.
but now Qantas seems to have opened up positions for Domestic Cabin Crew FULL TIME for Brisbane base,

If lets say I become a Domestic Cabin Crew for Qantas and while that's happening suddenly Qantas decides to invite me to an AD for International down the road can I switch to International right away? or would I have to be with Domestic for at least a year or so before I can get a transfer?

I'm so sorry for the long message and the questions, I'm just really confused as to what I should as if I should take the chance, go for the Long shot and wait it out for International Cabin Crew or just go with Domestic for now?

Thank you so much in advance to anyone who can put some light on this (long) question, I really do appreciate any help and any advice that may come.

kind regards and big hugs

If I were you I’d focus on getting through the recruitment process first, then worry about taking domestic or International.

[Issapu]

most definitely I totally agree with you......that's what I've decided to do....I could flunk out on both for all I know......

Although still, if yourself or someone on this forum does still know the difference between Domestic or International I would still like to know if anyone has the time to share.

Thanks for your reply :)

Currently, a lot of domestic flight attendants are subcontracted through MAM. The recruitment process is different and it’s a casual contract. International flight attendants are employed under full time QCCA contracts. The pay/conditions are different. It’s not really possible to “swap” between the two easily, the divisions aren’t interchangeable in that sense. If I were you and really wanted to fly, I would give the domestic a shot - when they open up international again then you can go for that, there are no penalties for going for an international interview whilst working at domestic.

International and domestic flying are two different jobs in my opinion! Both have their positives and negatives... you won’t know if you like them unless you try!

[Syd_flyer]

Anyone any updates on their part of the process? Around 4months since applying now for externals.
anyone have anything to share regarding updates? All the best to All External or Internal

[l395]

I also applied around 4 months ago. I have 4 green ticks so far for background check - waiting on 2 more! I am okay with the long process as I have a couple of weddings in September (I didn't realise it would be this long to be honest and thought if I was going to as successful as I am this far - that I would be out of GS and onboard already), so I am hoping for any GS to be offered late September onwards! Ecstatic to be getting through these stages either way :)

Hi,

This is a very detailed excerpt but hope it will give you a thorough idea,
Cheers :)




What is involved?

Each assessment is designed to run for approximately 60 minutes and is divided into three parts.

Please be aware that your blood pressure and heart rate will be checked prior to any functional or strength testing. If your blood pressure is above 160/100, or your heart rate is above 100 beats per minute you will not be able to complete any functional or strength tests. A GP clearance letter will be required. It may be necessary for you to have a follow up appointment with the physiotherapist in order to complete the missed components of the assessment. Please refrain from ingesting any caffeine or smoking prior to your assessment to ensure an accurate reading.

Part A: Detailed subjective history; and
Part B: Testing of specific manual handling abilities and techniques Including:

Lifting and carrying of different loads
Grip Strength
Repetitive Lifting
Lifting techniques
Lower Limb Flexibility and Strength
Upper Limb Flexibility and Strength
Cervical, Thoracic & Lumbar Flexibility and Strength

Part C: Further Testing (only if applicable)

Urine Sample.

This is a drug test that will detect the presence of small amounts of illegal drugs in your system. If you are on a prescription medication which you believe will affect this test please bring in a letter from your GP. Ensure you disclose all medications you are taking as some may affect the test.

Blood Pressure Screening

This is basic test which measures your resting blood pressure. This can identify people who may be at risk of heart conditions or who may be unsuitable for intense exercise.

Hearing Screening

This is a screening tool which checks your hearing in each ear based on your responses when tones of varying frequency and volume are played. If you have recently been exposed to loud noises, or suffered a cold or sinus infection, please let the assessor know.

Vision Screening

Your vision will be checked both with and without aids. If you wear glasses or contacts, please remember to bring these to the assessment, as well as fluid to remove contacts if required.

Cardiovascular Fitness Screening

A 3 minute step test is used to assess your endurance and fitness. Please wear clothing appropriate for exercising.

Psychological screening

A short screening questionnaire is used which asks several broad questions about your mental wellbeing. Please answer truthfully to the best of your ability.

Lung function

This test assesses your breathing and lung capacity, which can help determine your suitability for endurance tasks.



What Happens after the Assessment?

The physiotherapist will submit a report to your potential employer based on the findings. Note that the physiotherapist will not tell you any of the results or recommendations that they make. Pre-employment assessments are not “pass or fail” but rather a summary of your current abilities and medical/injury history.

Part C: Further Testing (only if applicable)

Urine Sample.

This is a drug test that will detect the presence of small amounts of illegal drugs in your system. If you are on a prescription medication which you believe will affect this test please bring in a letter from your GP. Ensure you disclose all medications you are taking as some may affect the test.

Blood Pressure Screening

This is basic test which measures your resting blood pressure. This can identify people who may be at risk of heart conditions or who may be unsuitable for intense exercise.

Hearing Screening

This is a screening tool which checks your hearing in each ear based on your responses when tones of varying frequency and volume are played. If you have recently been exposed to loud noises, or suffered a cold or sinus infection, please let the assessor know.

Vision Screening

Your vision will be checked both with and without aids. If you wear glasses or contacts, please remember to bring these to the assessment, as well as fluid to remove contacts if required.

Cardiovascular Fitness Screening

A 3 minute step test is used to assess your endurance and fitness. Please wear clothing appropriate for exercising.

Psychological screening

A short screening questionnaire is used which asks several broad questions about your mental wellbeing. Please answer truthfully to the best of your ability.

Lung function

This test assesses your breathing and lung capacity, which can help determine your suitability for endurance tasks.



What Happens after the Assessment?

The physiotherapist will submit a report to your potential employer based on the findings. Note that the physiotherapist will not tell you any of the results or recommendations that they make. Pre-employment assessments are not “pass or fail” but rather a summary of your current abilities and medical/injury history.

Thank you so much for this info! It’s really helped!

Hey!

Can you you pretty please tell us what your medical day entailed? Was there a blood test and ear test? Is it true you gotta do 20 pushups and sit-ups etc? Haha So nervous about it all so any info would help ease my mind haha,

Thanks so much !


Someone has posted already the detailed info -
But to answer your questions no blood test, just urine sample which gets sent for testing and breath test on the day.
There is a hearing test, you put the headphones on, listen to the recording and press the button when you hear the beeps - pretty straight forward.
Also a vision test, for colour blindness and also basic vision test reading the chart from various distances.
Yes I had to do push ups (was allowed to do them on my knees and i think it was only 15), sit ups, planks, overhead press, lifting weighted bags, pushing and pulling a cart. All the usual type manual handing exercises.
Don't feel stressed if you aren't 100% confident with push ups etc - like the other person said it isn't pass or fail, they just send an overall rating to Qantas.

Hey all,

Currently doing my ASIC...is anyone else at this stage too? After they were all ticked off how long did it take to do medicals? Is anyone else here from Brisbane (now Sydney lol) or is it just me? 🙏 It’s so hard to estimate time frames 😭. I wonder how many ground schools they’re having this year...it can’t be many I’m guessing?!

Congratulations to everyone that’s made it passed medicals! You’ve got this 😁

I'm done with Asic but waiting for Australian check. I had an interview 13th of May.... the waiting is too long. someone who had an assessment on the same day, already took medical check.
when did you have an AD?

[Syd_flyer]

Hi there, just a short update from someone else who has been going through the process too. I know it can seem long and at times slow process waiting for news. I would encourage you to be patient and remain optimistic and positive. I understand it is a fairly large recruitment drive at present with new starter ground schools planned for August September and October. Have all your documents ready would be my advice as when asked for them - RSA / First Aid etc it is great to be able to send them straight back. Any questions then feel free to drop me a message. For those waiting for news or an offer then do keep positive, good things come to those who wait!

All the best

[filthy rich]

I am also only waiting for Auscheck tick and then final QF clearance tick. Can anybody recommend an online RSA course for NSW please?

[l395]

Hey there :)

i’m unable to PM sorry. Do you mind me asking how you know about the planning of GS in Aug/Sept & Oct...

Any GS from Oct onwards would actually suit me perfect so i’m more than happy with the long process haha.

Thank you

HI there, that is the communication that came directly from the Talent Team when I asked about planned courses, no rumours no hearsay just information directly from those in the know. All the best with the application.

I did mine through clear to work. Online, easy and only cost $112 which I thought was affordable.

Also, I got my start date, finally! 1st of August - anyone else starting ground school in Sydney on this date??

Hey Katie,

Yeah I am the exact same...just waiting for Auscheck and QF clearance. I had my AD in BNE on June 6th...we got ours pretty late up here. I don't know anyone from BE in the same boat so it's so hard but it'll be worth it in the end! Let me know how you go!! :)

Just a message to really get out of my system how badly I want this. Waiting and hoping for Brisbane to open back up one day after the applications were put on hold earlier this year is killin me! Trying to keep the dream alive in my soul. Any Brisbane hopefuls applied for domestic or Qantaslink in the interim?

Hey,

Hang in there. I know it's such a long process but trust me, everyone shares your struggle! You're not alone! If you want this bad enough and if it is what you were born to do, then I know I will. prevail. Sometimes, things happen for a reason so whatever you're going through right now, just know something amazing is coming your way! Just be patient and have faith and enjoy the process!

All the very best, let us know how you go! xx

Hi, myself and another person on here are starting ground school on August 1st. We are Sydney based. For me I think it was approx 3 weeks from having all green ticks on background check to getting a phone call from Qantas asking me if I would complete a medical. They then sent me the email info to book the medical. Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

[Lolalily1]

Hey guys!

I GOT THE GOLDEN CALL A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO FOR INTERNATIONAL CABIN CREW!! i am sooo happy!
I have been told i begin ground school on july 29th. I am can't control the outbursts of excitement

Any tips? I would love to hear all about the experience anyone had at ground school :)

I read on the timetable sheet we got emailed, that on the 5th of august we begin EP's but in another box it says 'medical'. Is this the topic of what we will be studying or another medical haha ( i hope this wasn't a silly question to ask )

Hi,
the green ticks are in relation to the background check.. have you submitted your check yet? When you log in you will see ticks for different parts that have been completed by qantas/auscheck/asic. So once your submitted the background check there is nothing for you to do, just wait! Mind you I was checking the ID services page everyday to see how it was going.
Not sure if this answers your question?

[Jetsetterhopeful]

Hi , can anyone please let me know how many green ticks are we needing to be successful? Does anyone know what stage each ✅ relates to ? Thank you. Good luck to everyone 😊

Hey Bella18,

The green ticks will be for your ASIC (security id). The ID services team send you an email to upload all your identity documents and as each stage is completed, you get a tick. (I.e application received by auscheck, application approved by auscheck etc.). I think some people are getting confused because on the Qantas Workday page, you also get a green tick if your status is in progress...but this is just to show your overall application is still being reviewed. ☺️

Hope me this helps xx

[katiemitchell]

Hi, is there anyone still waiting for the medical check who had an AD on middle of May?
I am frustrating that most of pp here who waiting for the medical is the one who had AD after me. maybe AD in June.
Still waiting for AUD gets done.

[Bella18]

Many thanks for the replies. My reference checks have been done. I’ve submitted my paperwork for the ID security check - I’ve had to resubmit a couple of things as they weren’t correct. Do Qantas email when the ID clearance is completed or do I get another tick ✅? Sorry for being vague 🤣

[Bella18]

Yes jetstarhopeful - I am looking at workday and see my application is ‘ in progress ‘ with one ✅.....

[l395]

I had mine in the middle of May and am still waiting on the medical too. I’ve got all green ticks for background check. Dont stress, you’re not alone chick. We will get there! Haha

Hey guys,

Just thought I’d update you all on my application journey, since everyone here has been so kind with their helpful info!

Online Application - 23/03
Assessment Day Invite 24/04
Assessment Day - 02/05
XREF link - 03/05
Additional Info Email - 09/05
Background Check Portal Link - 03/06
Submitted Background Check - 04/07
Background Check Completed - 30/07

Yesterday, I received an email from Qantas congratulating me on passing my security check... and that I have been placed on indefinite hold. I am so devastated because I am so unhappy in my current job and was hanging onto this glimmer of hope that I’d be in GS by October at the latest.

I’ve read through this entire forum a hundred times, and saw that people were waiting up to 1 YEAR to get contacted for GS, and had to redo all their certificates (I got all mine done 2 months ago.. It’s a Virgo thing haha!)

I had a cry to my mum about it for ages and she looked at me like the dumbest kid on earth! Saying that I have made it past hundreds of other applicants and that I should be grateful to get this far, and that gods timing will come into play when it needs to!

So I’m taking the time to stop sulking, and celebrate my achievement of making it thus far! I’m going to go to the gym 5 times a week (maybe..we’ll see..let’s be real... I’ll go once) and manifest my
Golden Call moment and push through my current toxic work environment.

Really wishing every single one of you the BEST of luck with your applications and can’t wait to see you all on board soon!!

Hi Dreamergirl,

You have done so well! Congratulations on making it through!

I totally understand how you are feeling. I am
in an awful job situation too! I applied for Brisbane and my hopes went through the roof only to receive an email saying there won’t be recruiting anytime in the near future. Literally, heartbroken. But like you I’m hanging in there with hope and trusting Gods timing. It’s so hard. At least you know you HAVE the job! Which is so exciting! It’s the DREAM!!!

Hey guys,

I’m so so sorry for what you guys have been put through. I can’t even imagine how gut wrenching that must’ve felt! Just know that I speak from experience when I say everything happens for a reason. And it WILL happen! Please don’t give up hope! Book a holiday, hang out with friends...do anything to take your mind off it. But know you HAVE the job! Now it’s just the waiting game!

All the very best and let me know how you go! I’ll be rooting for you ❤️✈️🙏

Dreamergirl;

Good on you!! Great honest words!! My application is in the background check stage at the moment to! I can’t believe I’ve made it this far either! I’m 42 next month and this is my childhood dream job, even though I’ve been in the airline industry for 14 years now I put my dreams on hold to have a family and now I have this opportunity. Im looking forward to hopefully working with you in the coming years!! [/left]

Hi Gypsy Heart,

I too am on hold for QF International BNE. In the meantime, I applied for Qantas Link & Altara/Jetstar. I got an AD for Altara/JS Domestic in mid July and now been offered a GS mid August. It happened so fast. I have been sent my first study materials and my uniform measurement info. Done my medical and waiting for all the green ticks for ASIC. Once you've done a year with Altara, you transfer into Jetstar fully. Plus my correspondence is from Qantas. It's very exciting.

Did you apply for anything else? Hope you have had some good news. I wish you all the best!

Cheers :) :)

It was also advertised on Seek.com for Altara/Jetstar. Keep an eye on Altara website as they recruit whenever Jetstar needs crew. Also I believe my friend got her position for Qantas Link last year through the Altara website under Cobham.

It's casual which suits me fine. From the sounds of the AD I'm going to be a very busy casual.

May I ask if you applied for the Sydney or Melbourne base? I applied for Sydney but my background check still isn't complete even though it's been over 8 weeks now. Starting to think I'll also be put on hold as it doesn't seem like anyone else's is taking such a long time! Anyway I'll try to remain hopeful and at least this process will make me a more patient person haha.

Hey,

Just so that you know and everyone else knows, Jetstar doesn't exactly work like that. After you have been at Altara for a year (thats one year after you graduate ground school, not when you start ground school) you become eligible to apply for Team Jetstar (actually be apart of Jetstar). There has to be positions available for you to apply for, you don't just automatically get it. And the year has to have passed before applications close. If you are successful in interviewing to be a part of Team Jetstar, there is still some time until you get it. You are then Jetstar Casual for atleast 6 months until you are able to apply for Team Jetstar Full-time and then the process repeats itself. They have to have positions available and open for you to apply for and then you have to interview for it again. Unless you are extremely lucky, the whole process of graduating and becoming full time can take almost 2 years

[Flyskyhigh007]

Hannah, so proud of you applying!! Never too late to pursue your dreams, I’ll try to remember that after having kids haha.

To everyone wondering, I applied for MEL/EXTERNAL Base for qantas international. I haven’t seen anyone else on this forum discuss anything past background stages for Melbourne, only Sydney and poor Brisbane people 😞

Just to clarify is any SYD base applicants put on hold or does this apply to MEL and BNE based applicants only?

I have a recruitment question please - I now have all my green ticks for the ID security clearance. This is for MAM not QCCA, however there isn’t much chat on the MAM forum so I thought you maybe able to help me please.
Is the next stage a medical? I Gather from reading other posts that Qantas call you with regards to booking your medical......???
Thank you. 😊

Hey Bella,

Yes! The next stage will be your medical however there's honestly no answer on how long that will be...with our recruitment there are some people who were put on hold prior to the medicals...I fortunately was not! It's honestly just luck I think so try and stay positive and have faith! And yes, you will receive a phone call regarding your progression to the medical!

Wishing you all the best!!!

[Bella18]

Thank you Jetsetterhopeful!
I will stay hopeful and patient 😊
keep us updated on your journey and thanks for helping with my questions 😊👍🏼

Heyy,

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely remember that when I'm stressing about exams ahahah!

I think I heard rumours that there are more ground schools scheduled for September but I could be wrong! It's honestly so changeable but I think you might be in luck! Just stay positive and everything will work out!

Good luck... let me know if you hear anything!
Hey, I got a call yesterday and have my medical on Monday GS either 11th or 17th September.

[QantasHopeful123]

Thanks for all the advice on this forum! It has helped me so much on this (very long) journey... I applied mid march, AD 13th May, got my golden call this week and start 11th September for GS in Sydney.
Those still waiting, just be patient...trust me its just a process and they are trying their best to push as many people through as possible. Fingers crossed for you all!

Hey all,
Got my rejection letter today. wahhh a little disheartened.

Still excited for you all amd wishing you all so much luck. Cant wait to follow all your progress.

[l395]

Oh no!!! I’m sorry to hear!

I thought you were past the background checks? I know nothing is guaranteed throughout the process until an offer of employment but wow, I thought you were almost there :(

Dont give up - you can always give it another go in 12 months!!

Ive had all green ticks on my background check for quite a few weeks now so i’m just waiting for the next stage :)

Is anyone on here employed as Virgin Guest services crew? There is no forum for what I want to ask, so I’m hoping one of you lovely people might be able to help.

While waiting for QCCA Brisbane to happen, I applied for Virgin Guest Services, it’s part time and minimum 25 hours, but just curious what the pay is like, and the number of hours averaged. Do guest services get penalty rates for Sunday’s and Christmas Day etc?

If you can point me in the in the right direction, I’ll be forever grateful :)

[filthy rich]

Hi Gypsy...
post this as a new thread here so people can see it. You will most likely get an answer then. Sorry I can not help.

Still waiting for an update with QCCA myself.. Ticks have been completed many weeks ago.
maybe this week maybe not...

Thanks Filfthy Rich! I’m still working out how to use the forum :) hopefully they come calling soon and you can be up up and away in no time!

[jjd123]

Hey guys

For those who have already gotten ground school dates, how long did you have to wait between doing your medical and receiving a contract?

Thanks :)

[caitrose]

Hey Guys!
I got all my green ticks weeks ago and I'm still waiting on medical too :)
I applied for International based in Melbourne and had my AD in May.
About a month ago however, I got an email saying that there were no more Melbourne ground schools for the rest of the year so they offered me Sydney base instead...
Is anyone in the same boat?

[1882]

Hi caitrose

I and a few others I know are in the same boat. I’m told they’re currently ringing round candidates like us to offer start dates for Oct. Hopefully we hear shortly!

[filthy rich]

Same . Also waiting for SYD. Know a few others as well.

[Jettsetterlove]

hey guys! Has anyone heard of any new recruitment soon? I heard a few people tell me that it would be really soon! Anyone know anything?

[Midflightmeltdown]

There are crew still going through the recruitment process from feb and many internals in the last few days have been informed they have been put in a hold pool till a spot comes up likely early next year (along with many being told a ‘no’ ) so I would be pretty confident that there won’t be another recruitment drive in 2019

Has anyone actually been told “no” internally over the last few days?

I honestly don't think there is a hard and fast rule. I have two friends go from AD to medical to GS in all of two months, but I too have had friends who applied earlier in the year and are shortlisted. So really.. its anyones game.

[l395]

I applied in March and have just completed my medical recently as an ext for Syd!

[Skiesthedream]

Hi all. I received an email to say I’ve been successful for International QF crew. This really is a dream come true and I’m so pumped..
My application was internal for Melbourne base.
At this stage I’m on hold awaiting a ground school date, hopefully early 2020.

Good luck to all those still waiting.. it’s such a long process but I can tell you what a weight is lifted off once you finally know :) it’s a great feeling. So stay positive and good things will happen :)

[filthy rich]

Anybody else still waiting for an update for SYD base? AD was in May 2019. I know of 2 others, anyone else?

[Flyskyhigh007]

Has anyone noticed applications are open for QF international Syd base again?

[filthy rich]

Internal or external?

[filthy rich]

Its not exactly open again. Its internal “refer someone you may know” So not exactly advertising for roles as such
