Hi everyone
For those doing medicals and needing Hep A & B injections here is a good tip if you have a bulk billing doctor. I was quoted up to $205 ($80 doctor fee, $95 Hep A, $30 Hep B) to get these injections done however you can simply buy the injection with a prescription (its a twin injection called twinrix) from Chemist Warehouse for $62.00 and then go back to your doctor to get him to inject. So all up I paid $62.00. So doctor first for prescription, then chemist then back to doctor for injection. A little bit of running around however might be worth the saving for some of you.

Response after online psychometric test
Just another update everyone.
I recently progressed to the online assessment which I found to be a psychometric assessment of sorts. I can't really offer any advice because of the T&C's of the assessment, but it's nothing you can prepare for, and it's nothing you should be worried about.
Addendum; I know quite a few people who still haven't received their video interview invitation. If you are in the same boat, just go by our motto here of "No news is good news"

My inbox has remained under constant surveillance, and I haven't received any new communiques regarding my application. To my knowledge, no one has progressed past the online examination yet.
I expect the next email sent out will regard assessment day invitations, but I wouldn't expect any new emails for the next few weeks, not until all of the April applicants have progressed past their video interviews and online assessments as well. It's a waiting game from here on in, and judging by the speed applications progressed last year, I would expect the assessment day will be around mid to late July, with invitation emails sent out about 20 days before that.

I have no info regarding assessment date. If you are SYD base then training will be at COSE Qantas Service Center of Excellence in Alexandria for customer service training & if you are BNE or MEL base sorry I dont know. Emergency procedures is based at flight training center (SYD airport) grounds school should commence in late July or August.

Thats a good question, not to sure. But Long Haul EBA proposal was released yesterday. They have ground schools in late july / august for training for the 787s. 787s will be endorsed on the A380 should this EBA get approved.

An update for y'all, the internals have to have their video interviews done by Monday, so they'll be busy with those next week too. Sit tight everyone, progress is definitely happening!!

Thanks Sarah77, I had my Hep B done today with some other vaccinations, $160 all up. So for others who have not yet had that it sounds like getting the prescription yourself is the way to go! Not sure how much the medical and drug and alcohol will be but I'm not expecting much change from $300?

I am new to this all and not quite sure how it all works with the training for all the different aircrafts (so bare with me haha). Im guessing that 787s usually a completely seperate training/ground school to the A380s? So you're either trained on one or the other? And this determines what routes/countries you will fly to? If the new EBA is approved does this mean that those trained on 787s will also be able to be trained on A380s?
I understand that different ground schools will be trained on different aircrafts depending on Qantas's needs, but are you ever trained on more than one aircraft in ground school? What are the different types of aircrafts they train you on in QCCA ground school?
Sorry lots of questions! I hope this makes sense, thanks

Welcome to the world of aviation, so how it works currently:
A380 (Australian based crew) is dedicated crew (if EBA is approved then eventually all A380 crew will be endorsed on B787 so they will be become dual endorsed A380 & B787. Currently they only operate on A380 aircraft. You will only be flying where A380 flies & of course if B787 if this gets approved.
Mainline crew: this crew is endorsed on the B747 & A330 aircraft only. You will only be flying where B747 & A330 flies.
Regarding ground school training it depends on the needs of QF which aircraft (A380/B787 or B747/A330) they put you on. If you get put into mainline then you will be trained on both aircraft type's. If you get put on A380 then depending on if this EBA gets approved I would assume that you will be dual endorsed A380 & B787 but don't quote me on that otherwise just A380.

How long does it usually take for EBAs to be approved?
