Congrats! Look forward to working with you online! U will enjoy training for sure... If u have any questions do feel free to ask :)

I got my contract etc in the mail the other week but it still doesn't tell me where I'm staying etc, or details for my flight to Sydney. Does anyone know when you find those things out?

Im going to gs on May 9th too! I got my pack today, it just contains employment forms and tax etc.:)

Hi Everyone,
Im starting ground school for MAM in Sydney on May 2nd :) Anyone else?

Can anyone that has already been to GS tell me what the swimming component of training is like? Im so scared that I won't pass that part! :/

Does anyone know if the hotel we stay at has washing facilities? How many outfits do you think will need to bring and when do we get our uniform?

Also, does anyone know why they need us to get a dental X-ray?

Thanks, Kate.

Why Dental x-rays?...you don't want to know...

Hi Kate,

I was told the first 3 weeks is business attire.


Can someone in GS or who has completed GS with MAM please tell me;

I just had a look a the hotel they told me we will probably be staying at - They have a lot of 2 bedroom apartments... Is it possible you will be sharing with someone else?

Hi is anyone from Brisbane still waiting to hear bout if they made it through to medical stage

You wear business attire throughout EPs and only start wearing the uniform when you commence service training. You won't be sharing an apartment with anyone else. MAM will provide all the flight and accommodation details a little closer to the date; don't stress :-)

As long as you can swim, you will pass the swimming component. It just involves swimming from one end of the pool to the other, then dragging someone back with you. It doesn't matter how long you take, how good you are at swimming or what kind of stroke you use.

Dental X-Rays are used for identification purposes in the case of something unthinkable happening.

9th May - GS
 

Any peeps flying to Sydney on the 8th May from Perth for GS starting on the 9th May? PM me so I can give you my contact details, apparently there is 3 of us flying from Perth. Would be good to meet up before hand. Cheers, Shane

Thanks heaps! That makes me feel a lot better. I can swim, but I'm no Ian Thorpe lol.

I got an email today with my training timetable and flight details :) Anyone flying from Melbourne to Sydney on May 1st?

Would you be allowed to have someone come and stay with you in your room on one of your days off, does anyone know?

Hey KAATE im flying from Melbourne to Sydney on May 1st aswell:)
I haven't got that email with the timetable and flight details yet!
Whats the timetable like?

Anyone out there hear anything bout mam putting recruitment on hold,heard this from someone however don't know what's going on

They told me last week there were 30 places left for June GS then after that nothing planned for the year.

international airport - I heard from a friend who went to a mam interview about 2 weeks ago that it was the last recruitment day for the year that day so i guess they've reached the number that they want. (this was in sydney, not sure if it meant last one for sydney or last one altogether)

Does anyone know when rosters are usually published? Which day of the month?
