Qantas International Cabin Crew Recruitment 2022

[travelgirl2602]

Has anyone got a response back from their Qantas International Cabin Crew job application?

[DJ1717]

I have heard rejection letters after applying have started to be sent out. Have you heard any thing?

I haven’t heard anything yet. Hopefully soon.

[DJ1717]

Questionnaire was sent out to me yesterday. I wonder whats next.

what base did you apply for?

[DJ1717]

Melb base. How about you?

[travelgirl2602]

Melb base. How about you?

Brisbane base

[DJ1717]

Hopefully you'll hear something soon

[skyisthelimit123]

Applied for MEL base haven't heard anything at all yet.

[DJ1717]

Already recieved an unsuccessful application after doing just the questionnaire. Pretty disappointed I must say. Will try again next time.

[travelgirl2602]

That’s really disappointing. I have still heard nothing.

[skyisthelimit123]

Interesting that they have just re advertised for MEL and SYD yesterday… I know of a few people including myself who haven’t heard anything.

I saw it was re advertised which is disheartening

I guess no news is usually good news in airline recruitment from my experience. Just interesting they’d open it up again when I bet they have thousands of applications from January to go through.

[travelgirl2602]

Received rejection email. Not sure what they’ve looking for. Obviously not 11 years experience at Emirates.

[danigirl]

Questionnaire was sent out to me yesterday. I wonder whats next.

I got mine too end of Jan. Sent it in and got an auto response that it was received and then a computer generated response describing my "personality" which appeared positive but since then I've heard nothing? It's strange they have re advertised again? The next step is usually an invitation to an assessment day which is a group interview situation. Have you heard anything more?

[Rebecca Marie]

Still have not heard anything. Know of people across different bases who have already been offered positions and then good people with experience who have been turned away :(

i did. the questions and no reply since then. The waiting game is horrible

[danigirl]

i did. the questions and no reply since then. The waiting game is horrible
I've heard from a QF crew friend that they are looking to hire 1300 new cabin crew so hopefully the silence is just a reflection of the enormity of the applications and task ahead for what is probably a scaled down HR team. No news is good news in this case I hope 🤞

Hello everyone,

​​​​​​Just hang in there and be extremly patience.
Qantas had just announced their half yearly financial results and naturally it wasn't a good one.

3Q22 (January, February, March) their international flying is at 22% pre covid level

4Q22 (April, May, June) they're predicting it to be at 44%

On top of that they are experiencing a surplus of crew in long haul, until flying is at a good percentage they are in no hurry to recruit.
​​​​​
Worst thing is to hire people and not giving them work because there's not enough to go around.

From application to ground school it could take a good six months, or even longer.

Application to assessment = usually around 2-4 weeks, otherwise 2 - 10 plus weeks (most likely in this instance)
Medicals = 3 - 4 weeks
ASIC clearance = 6 to 8 plus weeks
​​Certificates (if you haven't got one already) eg, swimming, 1st aids, rsa = 1 to 3 days depending on what you're studying.

In mean time just continue what you're doing and build on those 'exceptional' customer skills.
It will come, slowly but surely it will.

Best of luck to all 👍🤞😄

Thank you so much. That all makes total sense and is reassuring.

[skyisthelimit123]

The position has been advertised for a 3rd time and yet no response from applying the 1st time..

[danigirl]

I received an email last week inviting me to an assessment day this week in Melb. I was given Wed or Thur morning to choose from. I don't know if there have been any other assessment days held this year or not but if people have already been offered positions as mentioned earlier in this chat then there must have been unless they are internals and there may be a different process. From previous experience (pre covid), assessment days are usually groups of between 30-40 people so it will take a while to get through successful applicants as they are most likely short staffed within the recruitment team. If you haven't heard anything yet then just sit tight. No news is good news in this case. It's going to be a long process. I went through all of this in 2019 and the process took 6 mths from application to being offered a base. Sadly covid came along before I could start GS and well - the rest is history. Good Luck 🤞

Hi, where do you see it being advertised a third time? Not on QF website… 🤔
Anyone from Brisbane here awaiting reply?

That’s exciting 👏🏼 Good luck and hope it goes well. Keep us updated!

It's on Seek. Was listed 3d ago for Melb & Syd. This is the 3rd time this year it's been listed. Hard to explain but there must be a reason. Perhaps Brisbane has been filled already. Did you have flexibility with your base request? Good luck. 🤞

[ready4takeoff123]

Hi, how soon after doing your questionnaire did you get an unsuccessful email? And do you feel like you know why you did? Sorry you didn’t get a better outcome! 👍🏼

[Dreamergirl]

Hey everyone!! Just thought I’d chip in let you all know that Qantas is definitely moving swiftly with the recruitment and mentioned on my assessment day (Wed 09/03) that they are holding assessment days for 4 weeks!! Explains the readvertising for sure! They expressed how excited they were to get everything up and going again but also mentioned the earliest training school will not be until August 2022 if that helps anyone ! Best of luck

[skyisthelimit123]

Thanks for the info! Feeling a bit disheartened that I haven’t had a response after it’s been 2 months from applying. During that time it’s been re advertised twice, feel like my application will just get lost under all the more recent ones.
I have a lot of flying experience and have worked on wide body previously.
hoping with all these assessment days that means I’ll hear something in the next few weeks.
Good luck everyone!

Has anyone seen that Altara are advertising also for Qantas casual positions, but it doesn’t specify if international or domestic. The position is bne, syd and Mel base. Anyone apply?

[Teritorrygirl]

Can I apply for domestic if i get rejected for international? Or does the 12 months also apply for all QF jobs?

[Rejoiner]

Has anyone been asked to go for their medicals yet? Is it a phone call or email that you receive to tell you that you have been successful through to this stage?

[electrokaco]

Hi,

I applied to QantasLink Cabin Crew Sydney. I went to my Assessment Day and have done my XREF and ASIC last week but, I haven't heard back from QF at all. Does anyone know how long it takes for the next step and what the next step will be?

[danigirl]

Has anyone been asked to go for their medicals yet? Is it a phone call or email that you receive to tell you that you have been successful through to this stage?

Medicals are only valid for 3 months so you won't get asked to do that until you have progressed and cleared reference, background and security clearance. I believe you are asked to do the medical once you've been offered a ground school start date. That's what they told us at the assessment day.

[Lucytheflighty]

Hello!

Are all of the assessment days that have been conducted for internal applications? @danigirl @dreamergirl

All of us externals that I know that did the questionnaire have not heard anything back yet

Cheers

Thank you for the info. Hopefully we will hear soon. From my understanding the first initial course is scheduled to commence late April.


I know of at least two externals who have been to assessment days. I don't think internal applicants are required to do assessment days, that was my experience applying internally previously.

I also know of external applicants going through the assessment days in both SYD and MEL. Many applications still to go through so hopefully the wait won't be too long for those still waiting. Would be great to hear if anyone gets a call for a confirmed GS start date. Fingers crossed!

I am external. It was a few weeks before I was emailed after doing the questionnaire. I don't think internals have heard much yet for international. I believe assessment days are happening over the next 4 weeks. If you haven't had a rejection letter then just be patient. They would have had thousands of applications to process. It's a long process so no news is good news in this case. Good luck.

we were told earliest GS for Melb would be August. The ASIC clearance can take up to 8 weeks.

[Lucytheflighty]

Interesting! Thank you danigirl

When did you receive the questionnaire? I received and completed mine on the 2th of February. No news since then, it's been a while...

[Dreamergirl]

🥺 I agree with danigirl and truly believe no news is always good news!! I applied 10/01/22 (external) - did my questionairre 02/02 and didn’t hear back till 01/03 for an assessment day booking! All you guys can do is try and get organised for your AD and gather aaall your documents like birthcert/passport/license/name changes etc along with RSA/firstaids with copies of all so that you’re fully prepared when you hopefully get that email 😍 it’s all about manifestation and positivity and understanding the looong process! I waited 6+ months in 2019 as well only to have covid rip everything away from everyone 💔 fingers crossed for you all beautiful humans xx

[danigirl]

I've had the identical experience as Dreamergirl. Applied 12/1, received questionnaire 2/2, invited to assessment day 1/3. Attended AD 10/3. Progressed to XRef/background check 11/3. From experience I know there will be a long wait before I'm contacted again.

Perhaps the fact we both made it through this process in 2019 could be why our experience has been a little quicker or it could just be a coincidence or where we sit in the alphabet - who knows but they are making their way through the huge number of applicants, honestly in this case no news really is good news. It really is a loooong process. Hang in there 🤞🤞

Good to hear that I am not the only one! I applied back in 2021, received a questionnaire a month after, then because of Covid's new wave I was put on active hold for about 10 months! I received an invitation for my AD the 28/02 and attended on 04/03. Progressed to Xref/ASIC background check 07/03 and I haven't heard anything since. Good luck everyone and please keep us posted if anyone progress any further :)

[electrokaco]

Today 23/03 I received a call for my medicals, after the call I received the instructions directly by email and text message.

Did you apply for QF International or QantasLink? I expect it's a different process. Good luck I hope you've kept progressing. 🤞

[Lucytheflighty]

To the lucky and talented ones who have had an assessment day already: which documents did you have to bring for this day?

I want to be well prepared, thank you so much :)

[TravellingFoodie]

Hi all,
Like the rest of you I’m sure we are all in a similar position, so just wondering if anyone who attended the Sydney AD on 9/03/22 has any updates?
Since the AD my XREF has been completed (17/03/22) , as well as my ASIC (on the application status everything is ticked green, I have a card number and expiry date, not sure what date in particular it was approved but between the 17/03-22/03/22). Has anyone heard further from talent acquisition about medical or next steps ?
I know it can be a lengthy progress, but just want to see where others are at 😊

I've had no contact since submitting xref & personal details for background check 2 weeks ago. I've been told from a current crew member that international are in no hurry as they don't expect things to pick up until after June. I imagine they are focusing on getting domestic crew trained first.

[Millsdeandra em]

Hi there!

i did my assessment day in Sydney last feb 24,2022. References and security checks are all sorted. Still waiting for the email re medicals. I have received an email from them saying that my application is progressing and that they will send me an email when ground schools are confirmed and they are looking into late april this year. So fingers crossed! Hipe we receive email re medicals soon!

[Millsdeandra em]

Hi there! When did you do your assessment? Did they also mention that ground schools will possibly commence late april?

[keltip]

Hi does anyone have tips or advice for the open day? What did you do? What should I prepare for? What worked?
I have the Qantas link open day next week, but also applied for international... Will this affect my chances? I would prefer international but not sure whether to specify this or treat them seperate.

tips: dress in business attire, stay poised and always remember they are observing at all times. Smile and interact with other candidates in a friendly manner. Do your research about Qantas and take your time in answering. In the group discussion, they mostly want to see how you work with a team, so, be supportive and listen to eachother.

Hello everyone,

With so many jobs being advertised at the moment, thought I give a very general insights into the contracts and endorsement types.

International
This will be under QCCA (Qantas cabin crew Australia) contract.
A3330, A380, B787 endorsed

Domestic
Altara (contracted by Qantas to provide casuals for their domestic operations)
A330, B737 endorsed

Regional
Altara (contracted by National Jet Systems, to hire full timer for their regional operations)
717 endorsed

Qantaslink is a subsidery of Qantas and these crew are endorsed on the dashes.

Hope that helps someone, somewhere.
Best of luck to those who've applied 🤞😖🤞

[Millsdeandra em]

Hi there! Would be able to give me an idea how the roster looks for Qantas International? I currently work at the moment for a middle east airline and just wanted to compare!

I'll also add that the Qantas Long-Haul (A380, A330, B787) and Short-Haul (B737) base in AKL (Jetconnect) is currently hiring and will be doing so for the next 12 months. Two Long-Haul ground schools are already scheduled to start in April, and one in the first week of May.

Do Altara Cabin Crew members get Qantas staff benefits as well? Same salary/work conditions as Qantas staff?

[Rebecca Marie]

inhave started working with altara. I would not recommend it for anyone! It’s a mess and we are lucky to get any flights. Ground school is unpaid and the manager is unhelpful. Don’t consider it as an option

Hello,
Perhaps someone who is currently a long haul crew could provide more details?
Long haul is currently going through some changes so future rostering will be different.
From some sources, they get a generous amount of time off after a trip. eg 5 days Syd to LA trip, 5 days off. Rostering is usually done for 2 months.
One month has to be on call annually, again this was pre-covid things could change in the future for flexible rostering.

Maybe an existing crew could provide more details?




Do Altara Cabin Crew members get Qantas staff benefits as well? Same salary/work conditions as Qantas staff?
Hello,
As an employee of Altara working for Qantas, they will get 4 tickets per year.
Casuals are on wage, hourly. (Qantas domestic)
Full-timers are salaried, annually (National jet systems)

Just wondering what Qantas’ policy is with tattoos. I know you’re not allowed ones that are visible while wearing uniform, but if you do have some, would they let you remove them during the ground school, or wear a longer shirt to cover them while you get the removed ? (I have a small one on my wrist). I don’t want to jump the gun and go get it removed asap, if they are flexible with this etc. I have already had a consultation with a tattoo removal company and said it would only take around 8 weeks to have mine completely removed.

Thanks!

[Cieletoile]

Are there any internal applicants here?

[love2fly2022]

I’ve searched to try and find the grooming and appearance requirements for Qantas cabin crew but haven’t been able to find anything. I specifically want to know if nail polish is required? And are heels required or can flat shoes be worn?

[Lucytheflighty]

Good morning! :)

Anyone else who has not heard anything after completing the questionnaire? It's been two months since I did mine but I am starting to get a bit worried after some of you guys are doing the medicals already :uhoh:

[electrokaco]

Does anyone know how long it takes for HR to get back to you after medicals?

Hello TravellingFoodie,
Probably would be better just covering the tattoo with a long sleeves. If it's a small one on the wrist, a band aid over the top is probably enough to conceal.

Externals first then internals.

Hello love2fly2022,
Nails = clear, nude or french polish.
Shoes = low, 1-2 cm. High, 6-7cm. Flats could be worn during in flight service only.


Best of luck everyone

Hey all!
It’s been 2 weeks since my XREF and security clearance has been done and I have just received an email saying I am progressing to the pre-employment medical. Anyone else?!
Does anyone know the specifics of what is in the medical?

[Kuikymart]

Hey all!

Hey, congrats on moving onto medicals 😊, when I have done my medical for aviation it was urine tests, blood tests, eye test, hearing test, coordination test, ecg test (not sure if required now). But it’s super easy and all the designated aviation examiners are all super nice (there not like a regular doctor)

I also have a question for you! When you recieved your medical email what’s the latest date you can get that medical! Do they give you a time frame of when you need to get it done ?

[electrokaco]

Yay! Congrats! The medicals are quite extensive (took me 1.5 hours to complete). They do a doping urine test, alcohol test, hearing, vision and some muscular/functional tests, but there are a lot of exercises involved! Other than lifting heavy objects, they do push-ups, side planks, squats, up and down the stairs, etc; so make sure you are wearing very comfortable clothes and even if you can, maybe prepare a little bit (I struggled a little bit with the push-ups)

[TravellingFoodie]

Thanks so much for that, very insightful! Do they let you do push-ups on your knees ?:) What is included in the vision test?
Many thanks for your response

Hey Kuikymart!

I received the email yesterday ( 04/04/22) at around 7pm saying I have progressed and will shortly receive an email from the third party provider who does the assessments. I am yet to receive an email from them so hopefully I have that by the end of the week.

[Rosey123]

Are there any internal applicants here?
yes , internal applicant here , are you ?

Yeah, I am. Are you current crew as well?

hi there!

ive also received an email around the same time and still waiting to hear from body care!

[TravellingFoodie]

Oh cool! Glad i’m not the only one. If I don’t hear by tomorrow afternoon I will most likely send the talent acquisition team an email. I don’t know if that is being too impatient but in the email it says “We would appreciate your timeliness in actioning this request”. So hopefully it comes soon

Hi, just wondering if anyone else is still waiting for Auscheck to clear after 5/6 weeks? Thanks!

[JetsetCocker]

Did anyone else receive an email following the questionnaire saying they were no longer recruiting for Brisbane due to operational changes? They offered me SYD AD - did anyone accept this and considering commuting? Thanks 😊

hi there! Keep us posted about their response when you can!

[danigirl]

Does anyone know if there will be any more assessment days for Melbourne base? I just applied recently however the ad says at the bottom that the positions are Sydney base? I ticked Melbourne as my preferred base.

I've been told by a current LH crew member that they have finished the Melbourne AD's until September. So I gather from that there will be more later in the year so if you don't get a rejection letter then hang tight as you may hear more in a few months. I imagine they need to sort through the current AD applicants and sort GS out. I imagine it's a massive logistical operation. It is such a long process but hang in there. No news is still good news in this case. Good luck.

Hi, just wondering if anyone else is still waiting for Aus Check to clear after 5/6 weeks? Thanks!


Hello! Auscheck can take 6-8 weeks. Sometimes less sometimes more. It takes along time for an asic card when I applied for mine, it took 8 weeks on the dot before they said the card was ready for printing. It’s been 5-6 weeks now so you should be in the all clear they would have contacted you a couple weeks ago if there was any issues.

good luck !!! ✈️😁

[Kuikymart]

Hey guys,

does anyone have an idea of when ground schools are starting (particularly Sydney) for Qantas international cabin crew ? ✈️😊

[TravellingFoodie]

Hey Kuikymart,
Have you heard from Bodycare yet ?

[Kuikymart]

Hey Kuikymart,
Have you heard from Bodycare yet ?

Hey travelling foodie!

Not yet, last thing I’m waiting on is for auscheck to complete there checks for the asic. Then I’m sure the medicals will start. Im just wondering when they have an idea for ground school as international travel is picking up in June.

have you done asic clearance yet / heard anything for medicals yourself ?

[TravellingFoodie]

Kuikymart All my checks have been done for Asic!
Last I heard was last Monday saying I have progressed to pre employment medicals, but I still haven’t heard from Bodycare, so I think I’ll send the Qantas talent team an email today as I don’t want to delay the process

Hey travelling foodie!,

yea no harm in emailing I think. How long did asic take from application to finish for you? And are you doing international or domestic ? ✈️😁

[Mel2022QF]

Hey Travelling foodie, Yes I am in the same position, it's now been over a week since we were told to expect the medical questionnaire. Please let us know how you go!
I was happy to email the team as well but don't want to bombard them, so any info you gather would be great ;)

[mnd]

Hey,
Same here. I received a clear for my ASICS. I sent a follow up on the Thursday and they told me to wait as they are getting through the applications by date order for body care.

[mnd]

Hey, congrats on moving onto medicals 😊, when I have done my medical for aviation it was urine tests, blood tests, eye test, hearing test, coordination test, ecg test (not sure if required now). But it’s super easy and all the designated aviation examiners are all super nice (there not like a regular doctor)

I also have a question for you! When you recieved your medical email what’s the latest date you can get that medical! Do they give you a time frame of when you need to get it done ?


Hi Kuikymart,

Are we allowed to wear contacts if we require glasses ?

[NelBel]

Hey! I am new here but have been reading for the last week since i found these threads. I submitted my Qantas ID on the 21st March.
I have my ASIC result received 9th April and Auscheck result received 10th April and Final Qantas Security clearance status as ticked on the 11th April but next to HSE Status it says N/A and card printing says N/A. Is this normal? As i have not received any emails or missed calls as yet.

[electrokaco]

Hi "mnd",

I did my medicals and took my contacts and glasses to my appointment. They assessed me without any, then contacts and then glasses; so I cleared medical and allowed to use either.

[NelBel]

Hey!
I have received the Asic result and Auscheck result but was wondering did your HSE status and card ready printing change before your medical? Also how long did it take between receiving results from Auscheck and Asic to getting your medical?

[Kuikymart]

Hey Nel Bel! I’m in your exact same position. My final check was done on the 11th too and I’m wondering about this as well. Let’s see what the others say !! 😊

Thanks! Hopefully get a green tick soon. :)

[electrokaco]

It took Qantas another 4 weeks to contact me for my medicals after all my ticks were green! You have to be very patient, as well, after I did my medicals another week to hear back from them to let me know I was clear, then the last step is do the Swimming Assessment and to send all the certificates required (RSA, First Aid/CPR).

[TTTYYY]

Did my reference check and asic application, got all the green ticks, however received an unsuccessful email on the 11th of April..... absolutely guttered.. Already emailed TA to clarify whether its an error, obviously no replies.... leaving me in the dark hole here

[NelBel]

sorry to hear that. was your application for international or domestic?

[A38TY]

Oh no, hope you're ok! Other dream jobs might be just around the corner for you... if it's any help, some people are failing their medicals as well :(

[tammy_]

Hey guys, anyone else apply for BNE base in Jan and just received an email saying your application is still under consideration? Just got an email yesterday (first time I have heard since applying).
Otherwise, anyone in another base get an email like this prior to your questionnaire? I have been employed by Qantas before but never remember getting an email like this.

[Kuikymart]

Did my reference check and asic application, got all the green ticks, however received an unsuccessful email on the 11th of April..... absolutely guttered.. Already emailed TA to clarify whether its an error, obviously no replies.... leaving me in the dark hole here

I absolutely feel for you right now. Very sorry and hoping this is an error for you. Did you get all your ticks on the 11th and then did they email you as well on the 11th?. Really hoping it is an error as I don’t see why they would say you have been unsuccessful.

Good luck ✈️

I applied asic on the 1st April and got all green ticks on the 4th April. The expiration date on the asic card application says 30/04/2024 which is why I am so gutted...

Oh no that is very distressing to hear but it also seems way to quick to get all your ticks in essentially 3 days. Have you been through the ASIC process before? I uploaded docs on the 6/4 and I just have 4 ticks and I thought that was fast but I did it all 3 years ago and my old details were still in the system so thought that may fast track things. But I'm still waiting for the final ACIC ticks. I really hope this is an error for you. Keep us posted. It's unsettling for sure. I also applied for Melb international base.

I am just waiting on the HSE status as it just says NA and Card printing NA. I lodged everything on March 21st and got my Auscheck and Acic results on the 9th and 10th april and also the final qantas security check on the 11th april

[Millsdeandra em]

Yep! Just got the same email last night, it’s got me wondering that’s for sure

im thinking, maybe they want to be sure of the May ground school date prior to making us do our medicals! Fingers crossed! X

[winglet30]

im thinking, maybe they want to be sure of the May ground school date prior to making us do our medicals! Fingers crossed! X

I got the same email and had a similar thought, maybe they are on the fence about the May ground school date and might possibly have to advise us last minute so perhaps when they call, it might be to confirm if we are able to start at short notice and therefore proceed with medical or otherwise if not able - then opt to wait for the next GS which would then make sense for delaying medicals til then. But yeah we'll know soon enough but until then its anyones guess really 🙈

[danigirl]

It seems that Syd & Melb applicants are tracking at different paces. It looks like Sydney are going to hold GS sooner than Melb (we were told earliest would be August) so it makes sense Syd applicants are already doing medicals. It would be good to know if anyone gets offered GS dates? Pls keep us posted.

[Chikatt]

Just received an email now saying that prior to bodycare contacting me, they would like to share some additional information to me and ill here from them early May. Anyone else received same email?

I also received that email yesterday. So far everything has progressed quite well but it’s a lengthy process.

I applied for the Sydney base role.
Anyone else attended the 10/03 assessment day? Let’s keep in touch!

[tammy_]

Anyone here at all who applied for BNE based international in Jan and has had any response?? I have only had an email just this week saying they are still considering my application and they will be in touch when it's been reviewed.

[Lucytheflighty]

It's been more than two months and I still have not heard anything after completing the questionnaire :rolleyes:

I feel like they don't want crew who are currently working for Qantas group airlines such as Jetstar or NJS (Altara) because we are so understaffed at the moment and some priority was given to people working for other airlines and to candidates who were successful but were put on hold during Covid (fair).

Time to apply for Virgin and then Qantas International I guess :O JKS

I wouldn't normally put it past the company to do something like that, but by the looks of the training schedule, they are just too busy to facilitate movement/intake anyone yet.

Training seems flat out at the moment as they are returning crew to work and doing CSM/CSS upgrades. AKL long-haul base have some ground schools starting over the next few months, and the company said they will be sent to Dubai for their training from the 17th May onwards (apparently due to training constraints in Aus).

[NelBel]

Does anyone know what the HSE check is?

[A38TY]

Does anyone else think GS for Sydney based International Crew will be overseas now? Hence the emails regarding hear from them in May and the rumour mill going around.

Hey does anyone have an idea of what Medicals and the swim test specifically entail?
Just want to make sure I’m prepared 🤣.

[winglet30]

I have a feeling that might be it too. I was just reading an article this morning stating that “From next month, Qantas will also outsource parts of its crew training to Dubai and Abu Dhabi” which lines up with the others that have also stated that. Very interesting times ahead for sure!

[A38TY]

Congrats! So exciting. The rumour mill is about International Cabin Crew training overseas e.g Dubai (Emirates Training Centre).

i found an article on Facebook which was an interesting read for those applying for international which I thought you may want to read. It says something about using New Zealand cabin crew for their long haul flights due to a pay dispute with the airline international union

That is interesting. It must be a logistical nightmare.

[Cieletoile]

For context, the Australian union are refusing to let Aussie crew operate the A332 on 14+ hour flights due to the crew rest being inadequate (which it is). So Qantas have entirely outsourced BNE-LAX to offshore kiwi crew as they have not objected to working on it.

[Syd1981]

I got the same email. I don’t understand what happened. I received an email saying thank you for completing security and references. I then go the email saying I was progressing to the pre-employment medical. And that received and email telling me I was unsuccessful before I could even do the medical. I’ve email but had no response. So gutted. I don’t know how I can go from waiting for my medical to unsuccessful without anything happening

[QF747438]

:) Hi good luck everyone hope you all get the golden call soon.

I have been with QF over 20 years and have seen a lot of candidates over the years get made unsuccessful even after the medical stage. The final stage is executive review. QF cull at all stages. Only get excited when you get the letter of offer in writing and a QF staff number.

As with anything in aviation things change on a daily basis. Word on the street is they don’t need as many International Cabin Crew as anticipated for BNE / MEL / SYD. Brisbane is no longer taking externals and limited in Melbourne and Sydney. QF are now currently hiring in LHR for QFCCUK and AKL for Jetconnect. Many MAM casuals have applied internally and will get priority as QF have a new casual pool through Altara for B737 and A330 short haul operations. A lot of the QF group cabin crew agreements that career progression clauses to mainline so a certain percent of ground Schools will have a number of spots filled internally usually.

All these changing factors are probably the reason of external candidates now receiving unsuccessful emails. It happens with in this industry. Keep positive and keep applying. I have flown with Cabin Crew who finally got in after 9 and 10 attempts. Hope this helps.

[Syd1981]

Yeah international for sydney base

i think you’ll need to send through your certificates plus water competency after medicals. There will be a separate email from them asking for this.
I reckon they’ll send us to the UAE for ditching training as Emirates and Etihad have really good training facilities. I know some airline rent Emirates training facilities to train their crew

Hey, mine was for Sydney base and I attended assessment day on the 9th of March

[QF747438]

Thanks for the info! Do you think they will still need more crew in Melbourne later in the year or in 2023 and they just don’t have the capacity to get the ground schools through currently?

:) I believe more recruitment will occur later for QCCA. Qantas are currently actively recruiting in Melbourne for Qantas Short Haul Flight Attendants with Altara for B737 and A330 domestic operations.

Does anyone know if it's mandatory to have contact lenses if you wear glasses (short sighted)? Do I need to organise this for the medicals? Thanks!

That’s a great question- would love to know the answer to this as well. I’m vision impaired in my left eye and need my glasses as im short sighted in my right eye. I’ve seen plenty of cabin crew wear glasses so I wonder if we can wear glasses during the medical

[danigirl]

I finally got all my ticks yesterday. I had 4 in the first 2 days and then nothing happened for over 2 weeks. I emailed asking if they needed anything more from me and the next day all ticks were there. So if you've been waiting a while for your final ticks it wouldn't hurt to email ID services as it might prompt someone to finalise it.

Now I nervously wait for a update. 😬

[NelBel]

Bodycare will email you and tell you to bring any visual aids to your appointment. I would suggest if you have contacts and glasses to bring both

[Lucytheflighty]

Anyone still for waiting for an assessment day for Melbourne base heard anything? Or any updates on Melbourne recruitment? Trying to stay patient that I'll hear something soon.
Hey :)

I have been waiting since I completed the questionnaire on the 2nd of February. I applied in Jan for Melbourne base too, first time that I apply. Some people got recommended by QF international crew that's why they jumped the queue or they have been in the process longer. Someone mentioned here new assessment days will be held in September. Let's not lose hope :ok:

[NelBel]

i went for my medical on friday last week and received a call this morning asking if i was ok to start ground school on Monday. They said that they will be emailing contracts and information today. i applied for Melbourne QantasLink but am being sent interstate for ground school.
This group has definitely helped me during the process with putting my mind at ease and seeing everyone go through the process and ask questions. Thank you all so much!
Fingers crossed that you all hear about medicals and get the golden call for ground school soon. Wishing you all the best :ok:

Fingers crossed that you all hear about medicals and get the golden call for ground school soon. Wishing you all the best :ok:
Yay, we will be colleagues then! I'll see you next Monday!

[NelBel]

Yay, we will be colleagues then! I'll see you next Monday!

Oh fabulous! See you Monday!

Haven’t heard yet, how exciting though! Have they received the call from Qantas yet?


no they haven’t. Seems strange to me that they’ve been scheduled for medicals before the call

Congrats! All happening very fast and moving interstate for training 🙌

[nnxybh]

is this for international Sydney base ?


Yes. Sydney international

[A38TY]

Bodycare will email you and tell you to bring any visual aids to your appointment. I would suggest if you have contacts and glasses to bring both
Thanks! Have fun at GS :)

[A38TY]

I finally got all my ticks yesterday. I had 4 in the first 2 days and then nothing happened for over 2 weeks. I emailed asking if they needed anything more from me and the next day all ticks were there. So if you've been waiting a while for your final ticks it wouldn't hurt to email ID services as it might prompt someone to finalise it.

Now I nervously wait for a update. 😬
Woo hoo! Good luck moving forward :)

Congrats that is so exciting!! Are they sending you to Brisbane for training? How long is it expected to take? I believe the Sydney facility was knocked down after the land was reclaimed for a tunnel project. Hence why Sydney international crews will no doubt be trained in a Dubai. Enjoy GS.

Anyone else holding onto their phone as tight as I am this week? Excited to get this phone call! Has anyone been contacted yet ?

that’s what we were all told but this girl I know got the text from Bodycare and she hasn’t been called even though we got the same email. So confusing

It doesn't sound like any internationals have received a phone call yet. I guess it's technically still early May 🙂

[Flighty25]

Any news, internals?

I just received an email saying that I am progressing to the next stage and that I don't have to do an assessment day :)

It says that I have been successful in being placed on their Active Hold File. The recruitment team will touch base with me regarding next steps in the months ahead as dates of Ground Training Schools are confirmed. Qantas Cabin Crew Australia together with Workforce Planning and my current employment entity will determine allocations from the Active Hold File based on Qantas future forecasted flying and network requirements. They will endeavour to notify me with a minimum 8 weeks’ notice.

Is this good news or just radio silence for another 5 months? I applied back in January

Internal here, and received the email too (great to finally get a reply after hearing nothing for over 100+ days)

Sadly, the information I've been given suggests radio silence for at least another few months. The crewmour mill suggests Q4 this year (so take that with a grain of salt).
I asked management if they had heard anything from the company about the transfer and they said they've heard nothing either, but did guess it would be "much later this year".
😔

Hopefully we hear something soon!

Have not received phone call yet, probably after medical, if it's accepted ;)

Any Bris applicants!? haha I read this forum religiously everyday and still no one lol. I used this forum back in 2019 when I first had a job with Qantas and LOVED connecting with other people in the same boat but now I just get to watch all you SYD and MEL based people advance in the recruitment process while I feel like I'm in limbo!! I love reading about all of it! Getting the call at the end of this LONG process makes it all worth it, best feeling! :ugh:

they’re asking if they’re willing to train in Dubai for 28 days

The rest of us still waiting 🕣

[Kuikymart]

How exciting !!! Hopefully we all get contacted soon ✈️☺️

[nnxybh]

Lol it wasn’t me guys. It was someone I know and the call was basically asking if they were willing to be away for that long. No word on GS. She will hear back once she passes her medicals I assume. She applied for Sydney base

[QF747438]

:) I know 2 external candidates called this week and asked about training away for 28 days. They were told first GS is planned for August and some starting as late as October this was for Sydney base.

Many internals from MAM and Jetstar also contacted this week. Many current Qantas international crew still on reserve rosters hence why GS is pushed out later.

Oh my god!!! Im so happy someone else from Bris is in here finally!
I am yet to receive and email but will keep a close eye on my emails now.
Is this your first communication from them since applying?
I got an email mid april saying my application is being considered and they will be in touch as soon as they've had a chance to review it.
If I'm lucky enough to get an email, ill try to put in for the 19th so we can meet. Fingers crossed!

Also, congrats!!

[QF747438]

Thats ok :) the 2 who got contacted about training away - have both completed the medical stages at body care. Hope this sheds some light on the timeline.

thanks so much for the updates your a big help. If medicals are done for them then wouldn’t ground school be somewhat soon ? They did say that medicals are only done close to a ground school date. If it was to be august start then the medical would expire and would have to go again before starting 🤔 Help me out I’m confused 🤣☺️

so my invitation for the 18th/19th in Brisbane now says it’s for Sydney based crew but at the assessment centre in BNE. I initiallly thought it was for Brisbane based crew. Still beyond excited to begin this journey and find out more information.

[QF747438]

:) medicals are valid for 3 months - medicals conducted now would be valid till at least mid August

[Kuikymart]

Did anyone just receive that Qantas update email about ground schools being late 2022 to early 2023? And that they will contact 8-10 weeks out. Sounds like some of us may have been placed in a holding pool 🤔

Yep just got it too. I applied for Melb base. Sounds like a fluid situation that's constantly changing. I guess all we can do is wait and hope we get the golden call 🤞🤞

[Kuikymart]

What I think this emails means is… They may have something new implemented and they need to wait. They don’t have enough staff to train. They have now predicted travel to pick up later than expected and now have too many candidates on there hands and they will need to wait to put them through ground schools.

Does anyone know if the external candidates that were called got the same email? Bit confusing for sure 🤔

Kuikymart That could be true. Wouldn’t surprise me really, I just wish there was a bit more clarification on the situation. I wonder if we will still get a phone call to complete our medicals, as they are valid for 3 months 🤔
That’s a good question about external candidates- I wonder if they got the email even if they got a phone call.
At the assessment day I attended in Sydney, they seemed really keen to hire a lot of staff and couldn’t wait to get us started, talking about the expansion of the company and influx in travel.

[Darren GBS]

Hey everyone, I also received the ‘Update’ email. Seems like everything is on hold for another few months sadly! Was hoping they would start GS in the next month or two, guess we just have to remain hopeful and wait for good news

[nnxybh]

[TravellingFoodie]

No she did not get this email. Seems like everyone did not receive a call yet got the same email. Such a bummer. I was so excited
nnxybh Ahh damn, congrats to her all the same!
Yea, it’s a bit of a bummer for sure. Hopefully not too much longer then for the rest of us. I wonder if they’ll still proceed with our pre-employment medicals as they said in a prior email 🤔

For those who have been to an assessment day, do they let you know on the day if you are successful to continue the selection process, or do you have to wait to find out?

If you are to progress they will email you within a couple of days to ask for references which is done by an external company called XRef who will contact you separately to begin that process. If you are unsuccessful you'll be told within a day or 2.

Hi, Qantas Group internals have been advised yesterday all Qantas International initial schools have been been put back to Quarter 4 of this year October onwards and 2023 with no firm plans.

Manpower forecasts have changed. They still have a lot of international crew on reserve lines not flying and also they are prioritising JETCONNECT recruitment and ground schools these NZ based crew operate on all Qantas international services along side mainline.

They have lot of Qantas Group internals now on active hold many have been waiting who accepted transfers in 2020 which were placed on hold will get priority for initial training schedules.

If you have not done the medical component yet that is good as they will make candidates re do the medical if it expires as well as re do security checks after an allotted time has elapsed. Active hold usually last for 12 months from time of application.

Hang in there this industry changes on a daily basis it’s very fluid at the moment :)

i honestly doubt that they will proceed with the medicals especially when GS could be next year.

[Flighty25]

This whole recruitment process is such a mess! Super disorganised. Sorry, but someone had to say this. After working for four different airlines, I have never seen something like this, especially coming from a flag carrier.

[Kuikymart]

It’s going to be a long agonising wait for all of us. We are just going to have to put it aside for now and wait for Qantas to contact us further hopefully with some good news. Pray that international travel picks up more than what they have now anticipated. Checking this forum daily is definitely making the days go slower 😂

I am in brisbane also and going down to Sydney next tuesday for AD 😍😍 im so excited i made it close prior to the start of covid then it came and squashed everything to pieces.

im keen to be apart of the BNE gang if i advance to the next stages 😂😂😂😂

[Hashuree]

Hi team,

going to AD next week in sydney have loved reading all the post within this thread :)

could someone please tell me what questions you were asked during your interview?

Made so many friends from the last AD back in 2020 would love to keep in touch with you all…

[Skiesthedream]

Hi guys.
I’ve loved reading over all your messages and I’m crossing my fingers for us all things move soon and in our favour.

I’ve done this process many times. I guess the main thing is don’t give up and everything happens for a reason..

I applied agesssss ago with QF domestic and got it, but then the GFC happened and my application was culled.

then again in 2017 for international and didn’t get it (however I think that had a lot to do with how I applied - internal when I was technically external and computer just said no)

again in 2019 and was successful and placed on hold for 2020 GS and we all know when happened from there 🤦‍♀️

so I’m back. Applied yet again, got my internal email last week to say all successful and now on hold. It gave no Indication on start dates or locations or anything..

this is for Melbourne base..

So is it confirmed that it will be training on all international a/c and not short haul:long haul as it was pre covid?

also for anyone who is over at QF any indication on time frames it might take to regain CSM/CSS qualifications after transferring over?

[Millsdeandra em]

hi there!

Seems, process can really be long in Qantas, but I guess when you get that golden call, makes it all worth it.

Just wondering, would you have an idea roughly how much does QF international get per fortnight? Just to help me plan ahead my move from middle east! In terms of rent etc.

[djw024]

I am in brisbane also and going down to Sydney next tuesday for AD 😍😍 im so excited i made it close prior to the start of covid then it came and squashed everything to pieces.

Hi, my AD is in Brisbane, are you sure yours is in Sydney?

[djw024]

Hi,
my research indicates QF international cabin crew normally get mid 70K per year, it's not a lot of money TBH, so, unless someone really love customer service and flying, this is not the job makes their life become rich and glamorous.....

Hey Millsdeandra, correct me if I’m wrong guys but according to one of the current EBA’s in place the base salary is $47,000 a year for flight attendant - entry (that would be us starting out after ground school). This does not include paid flying hours (when the door shuts and when the door opens at destination) You can be rostered up to 112.5 hours every 28 days or 220 every 56 days I believe. I currently do not know how much paid flying hours are but I believe virgin Australia is $14.50 an hour and Qantas would be more for sure so id say roughly $18/$20 per flying hour. Most likely after getting taxed in aus you can expect $1000-$1200 a week for pay. Again this is an estimate and it could be more or less depending on the amount of hours you fly and overtime, reserve, allowances etc… Correct me if I’m wrong and I’ll let one of the current QF crew confirm for you 😇

If you need tips on good areas/suburbs to live at a good price if your not familiar with Australia that’s close to the airport let us all know I’m sure us Sydney siders will be more than willing to help 🙂

I currently do not know how much paid flying hours are but I believe virgin Australia is $14.50 an hour and Qantas would be more for sure so id say roughly $18/$20 per flying hour. Most likely after getting taxed in aus you can expect $1000-$1200 a week for pay. Again this is an estimate and it could be more or less depending on the amount of hours you fly and overtime, reserve, allowances etc… Correct me if I’m wrong and I’ll let one of the current QF crew confirm for you 😇

If you need tips on good areas/suburbs to live at a good price if your not familiar with Australia that’s close to the airport let us all know I’m sure us Sydney siders will be more than willing to help 🙂

hi! Thanks for such detailed response!

really appreciate it and very helpful in getting an estimate in terms of cost of living!
Might get some tips for when I eventually move! And i guess with all the days off that we’d eventually get, a side gig wouldn’t be so bad to get some extra income. I hear Sydney is quite costly! Might be getting ahead of myself, Who knows how long the recruitmet process will take😂😂

For pay, you're best to look at the new QCCA long-haul EBA which is about to kick in.

The 2022 rates:Trainee Flight Attendant: $34,639
Flight Attendant - Entry: $46,377
Flight Attendant: $47,264
LH'ers make their money on overnight allowances on top of their salary ($139-$350 for a full 24 hours in port), but that figure is dependent on how you work your roster, what trips you get, and is different for everyone. Hope that helps.

Qantas workday posted QF international cabin crew job again yesterday for Sydney base. Must still be keen on hiring 🤔 maybe things have changed who knows hahaha at this current fluid situation we could get an email saying we’re on hold till 2023 and another email in a week saying your starting 😂

Kuikymart I noticed this too! They also advertised roles on their Instagram. Doesn’t make sense to be hiring again when we aren’t even through yet 🤣 Fingers crossed we are in sooner than we think 🤞🏼 I’m mentally clocked out of my other job already haha

:) Depending on your trips QCCA crew clear around $1800- ($2000 on a good pay) after tax per fortnight - if ur on reserve or annual leave works out about $1600 in the bank per fortnight.

:) Qantas are still recruiting for the active hold pool. QF recruitment is all done on points scoring. So they will build up the active hold list with as many candidates who meet the benchmark score. So for example if they recruit next week and have candidates that score high they will be offered positions first over candidates they interviewed early in the year that may sit in with lower scores, if that makes sense.Basically they will build the active hold pool with as many high scoring candidates as they can get then they work their way down the list for job offers. That’s what QF have done in the past.

I just came across this 1 hour doco on Prime. It was a doco on a 24hr Qantas flight from London to Sydney. All the ins and outs of the crew and some highlighted stories of passengers. I smiled the whole way through it and had a few tears too 😄 it says it's only on Prime for another 10hrs so if you read this in time watch it!
