Hi! I'm currently at reference check stage for VA MEL base. I received the email notifying me that they would be checking my references almost 2 weeks ago but they still haven't been contacted. Can anyone shed some light on how long I can expect it to be before references are contacted?

Hi all! Does anyone know why they have now advertised again for Adelaide cabin crew, would it be because there was not enough interest from the previous ad? Also any idea how long the whole process usually takes from application to start date, I've heard 3-6 month? Thanks

Not sure why Adelaide base was advertised again, could be they had too few applicants, could be they had lots and wanting to progress recruitment for this base quickly...anyone's guess!
Today they have also released roles for Sydney Base...so perhaps cranking things up a bit??
Have you applied for any of the VA base roles?In

Hi everyone, I attended an Akl recruitment day. Got the email for the online test just over a week later. I got an email the following day advising my reference checks would be completed. The online reference checks were sent out the following week. One of my referees has been away hasn't been able to complete the check. Will keep you all posted.

KAATE, Perhaps you should give them a call, or email them to follow up? Given there are so many applicants, there is likely to be the occasional error or mishap in processing or admin. They may have missed something by accident for your referencing checking process.
