I got the same email, it's a pretty good feeling isn't it! I thought I went ok on the online assessments at the time but you never really know do you.
Good luck with the rest of the process

help needed for assessment centre day
Hi All,
I'm attending the assessment centre day test in a couple of weeks time, can anyone give me some advice on what to expect on the day? On the ASA website, they mentioned about group exercise and briefing exercise, can anyone give me some general guide?
thanks!!!

Yes, another newbie.
Greetings All.
I just want to say hi to everyone new and thanks to those who have been down this path before and provided some interesting reading.
I've just completed the online tests and I'm waiting for the phone interview.
Cheers,
Josh.

Hi,
I received my success email for the online tests on the 18th of May. I completed the OPQ (Personality Questionnaire) on the 27th of May. Since completing the OPQ I haven't received a confirmation email, also checked the website for my application status but nothing is shown. Not sure if I haven't passed or need to keep waiting for a confirmation email?
Thanks

Melbourne hotel near airport
I'm going to the assessment day in August, can anyone recommend somewhere close by to stay, I'm flying in so prefer near the airport. Affordable is also a plus. Thank you in advance

I'm in the same position having not heard anything since completing the OPQ mid May. I'm hoping it's just a delay with processing and not a bad sign.
If anyone who has been through the process recently can give us some feedback on their experience that would be great.
I always thought I was fairly patient but it turns out I'm not very good at waiting

it needs patience to get the email for tele interview
to those who did OPQ but havent got emails for tele interview,
I got my tele interview appointment confirmed 2 weeks after OPQ, so it just needs time, dont worry, havent heard anyone failed because of the OPQ.
good luck to all

Hey guys,
I got the call on Friday afternoon letting me know that I got in!!!
You just have to wait for the call. It'll say "reference check complete" forever, and there's no way of knowing until that call.
Then you receive a letter at some point letting you know when you need to do your medical and security. Until then, you just wait.

I got the phone call on Friday too and my application details have current status updated to "Complete Class III Medical". Med Cert III is valid for 2 years so may as get that asap. Now just have to wait (a few months apparently) for the offer application to arrive and move to Melb.

The medical's not *horribly* onerous unless you have some kind of pre-existing condition. Even then, quite a lot of conditions can potentially be approved but it may take quite a while and a lot of extra appointments. It's hearing, sight, blood tests (cholesterol, diabetes etc), ECG, mental health, blood pressure, height, weight, reactions etc etc - it's very broad ranging. According to my doctor, they're pretty much looking for any risk factors as well as any condition you might currently have. If you do have a medical condition of any kind, they're also looking at how it's managed. They're very conservative.
It can also take quite a while. The actual medical is about 2 hours, but it's CASA that approves it after their medical officers have reviewed the DAME's report. If there's anything even slightly out of the ordinary, it *will* be queried. eg. I had to provide detailed surgical reports from 20+ years ago (which really wasn't easy!).
Until you get that medical back from CASA, don't assume that you'll get it. I wouldn't do anything you can't reverse until you have a definite start date (which may be many, many months away). You won't get that until the medical's approved.
Cheers,
