Congratulations slipspace and TeeM, I've heard nothing back yet! Seems I might have been a bit slow off the mark in replying .. But will remain hopeful all the same

It's a shame if you didn't get one of the August GS slots, but don't feel bad if you didn't get it. You're still slated for the October GS is what counts. :) It was simply a case of luck.... that and whoever happened to be within an arms distance of a phone when the original email was sent out.

With a little over a month until the August GS, I've now got to expedite my medical and all of my immunizations, and hopefully get the ASIC application once it comes. Slipspace is going to be very poor this July. :s

I'm all good about it, it would be nice to start earlier but I should be grateful and I am that I made it through

good luck with getting everything done, hope you have a stash of cash to get you by

Just letting you guys know I have indeed been brought forward into the August GS. :D My medical, drug & alcohol screening, uniform fitting, and last immunisations are all booked. I'm so excited! :)

Wow congratulations Slipspace it is all happening now! Is this happening all over the next few weeks?


Keep us all posted on how the fast paced process goes for you!


good luck :)

So so exciting for you so happy for you 👍👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉👯👯🍾🍾

Thanks guys :)

While you guys have the time, Altara requires an OPG (Dental X-Ray) from you, so perhaps it's a good idea to either get a digital copy of your existing x-ray, or get a new one taken.

Congrads Slipspace - I got all the emails this morning as well for medicals, uniforms ect. :) every exciting. Going for my Medical next Thursday.

Thanks slipspace, does the opg need to be done in a specific period, I know I did one a couple of years ago or do they want something more recent?

"Please note that we can only accept digital copies and records from within the past 5 years are acceptable"

If that answers your question. :)

That's fantastic thank you slipspace,I can't wait until we all meet finally in the near future

Congrats TeeM! I might see you during the uniform fitting. :) So it's yourself, me, and baybii_t who are in the Aug GS so far? Or am I missing someone?

:(( will miss you ... But I will see you all flying

Yeah that's all I know of so far.. I have been reading another forum with others in the October GS. The 3 of us is all I have found so far for the August GS. Hopefully will see you at the uniform fitting :)

Does anyone know where the GS is going to be held for SEQ Base? Aviation Australia? Or are we going to be flown down to SYD or MEL?

And also, considering most flying will apparently be out of BNE. Does GoVia have a concession for airport staff, or am I forced to cop $45 worth of tolls every week to the airport and back?

I would say most likely aviation australia or BNE airport for the theory and aviation australia or MEL for the week of EPs.
No concession for tolls.

Hi all,

During the assessment centre they said the GS will be held at Aviation Australia for the duration and pending facility availability the EPs will be in Mel however they expect all training to be done in BNE.

I am also in the August GS.

Can't wait to meet you all next month :-)

Flyhigh1986 that's great news! so you must have gotten in early to make a call to secure your spot as i re'call you saying your start date for GS was October 17th prior?

Hopefully l get to meet you all one day as it seems i'm the only SYD base atm.

Flyhigh1986 THATS AMAZING!!

Congratuations - See you in just over a month :)
