$450 for eye test sounds a bit steep...
I pay around the $400 mark for a class 1...not sure if class 3 is similar

That being said, I know this is going to be well worth it and have heard the costs are reimbursed if successful.

Hi benjipc,
Yeah I have been asked to go and get the medical. But they also put a wee disclaimer saying this is not an offer of a position, so I don't really want to say I'm in until I get an offer. Call me superstitious, but I don't want to jinx it.
Cheers

Hi Big_Browna, I can't remember exactly how much in total my medical was, but once you start you just fill in a form and Airservices reimburses you. Just remember to keep your receipts!
I wouldn't worry too much about the disclaimer - unless you don't pass the medical, the only thing I'd be concerned about is making sure the medical gets processed in time.

Cost of tests
Hi Everyone,
I'm going through the medical testing in Canberra at the moment. It cost me $242 for the Dame yesterday. I have my eye, ECG and blood tests booked in for next week.
Does anyone know when I pay the $75 application fee to casa? And do I collect all the reports and head back to the dame with them?
Thanks in advance!

You can put your payment details in the medical application form..or go online and pay it before your appointment..take the receipt along to your DAME.
Best wishes everyone for your course. I'm just starting the application process but coming from the dark side.

Hi SoontobeinMelbourne,
I paid mine before I went and saw the DAME. Easiest way to do it is online. follow the link below.
Civil Aviation Safety Authority - Payment of fees FAQs
In terms of the additional tests, the eye test will be done by a DOA (Designated Aviation Ophthalmologist) so they will send the results to CASA directly. As for the blood test and ECG, They should be sent straight to your DAME but best to check with the people where you are getting the tests done.
Goodluck

CASA application fee
Thanks, I think I'll just pay it online too.
Do you know, do I have to go back and see the DAME again once I've completed all of my tests? I'm just thinking that if I do that I should probably make the appointment now.

Hey SoontobeinMelbourne,
You shouldn't need to see the DAME again unless there are some results that are of concern. Best thing to do is find out from the DAME because some like to do things different so all depends on them.

I haven't read many of these posts. I always was a bit of a peruser. I know I will get people saying "piss off you silly old git and retire gracefully" but about 4 months ago - out of interest/curiosity - I did the entrance tests on line for acceptance as an "experienced ATC intake" starter and I (just - apparently) failed.
My background:
10 years ASSY including APP and Tower Check controller (including YSBK, YSCN and YSTW)
8 years YSCB TWR and APP
2 years YBBN TWR and APP
5 years OMDB TWR and APP
4 years VHHH (KAI TAK) TWR and APP
16 years VHHH (CHEK LAP KOK) APP and TWR
Extensive OJTI and supervising
It seems to me that it's more important for a bunch of clerks that come up with a whole bunch of irrelevant tests to define where Australia's future controllers come from than tests that take into account a cross section of capabilities...including EXPERIENCE. After all it was a test for "experienced" Controllers.

Yay, seems I passed all my online testing. I have applied for Tower - I like being rural, and hope to have the option to eventually end up rural. Looking forward to hearing how everybody goes in this next round of intakes

Experienced ATCO
I have just completed my online testing for Experienced ATCO. Interested to hear the feedback of others who have just attempted. The deadline given was 30 Sep. Good luck to everyone else but I feel that was the start of the end of my application!
Despite 10yrs experience in TWR and RDR that was difficult!!

thanx.
When i applied on 5th September 2014, after 10 days they told me that my application is incomplete and I need to have my qualification assessed from NOOSR. I provided them a letter from Australian Institute of Management (my assessing authority during immigration) stating that my BSc in Aerospace in equivalent to Australian Bachelors. After a few emails they accepted it and told me that now my application is at online test stage. have not heard anything from them since after that.
Any guess how long will it take them to actually send me an invitation to complete the online test?
