If you already have your ASIC ID card you can access the Qantas staff parking right next door. Google map Pines Carpark Mascot to get you there.
You enter just before the International terminal, drive up over the overhead ramp and follow that until you see the parking area. Walk towards East and the Qantas building is on your left.

Saw lots of trainees last week at the Melbourne training center. Makes me want to apply for Virgin and then apply externally as it looks like the only way to get this job.

All the emails they sent me with links to the application guide required qantas or jetstar logins to view also. I emailed ID security first but they didn't help as I think they didn't really understand the problem lol. So after a month I just ended up calling the ID services number and they told me it was all cleared and just to wait for a job offer. Not sure why we were the lucky ones with this problem haha but definitely give them a ring, be prepared to wait a bit though as I recall being on hold for 40+ mins :)

Hey! I just read up and saw you had a really similar experience to me at the North Sydney centre as well :( I ended up getting a call a week after my medical from qantas asking if I could go get another general hearing test done at a place of my choice (I went to specsavers as it's free). I sent through my results then a few days later received some emails from a qantas nurse asking me about my first experience. She mentioned that they are investigating the situation/bodycare as others are having the same issues. They were really helpful and I am glad they are looking into it!

I believe a week later I received my start date for Dec 1st (but turned it down as it was only 2 weeks notice) so I am now in Jan 4th GS! Good luck with your application, hopefully you should have a similar outcome as me especially now they know this seems to be a recurring issue with the hearing test :)

Also, I've been following the process for other people and mine seems reversed - I got contacted by bodycare today before I've been emailed about any ASIC/auscheck/Qantas security stuff, and my xref hasn't been completed yet. Maybe they're rushing to get stuff done before xmas?

I was exactly the same as you. Smooth sailing until the medical then had to see my gp about a few things. I also received that before the security questionairre and ASIC emails. I finished each item last week within a couple of days of each other, and it all progressed nicely. Now I'm just waiting for the ASIC to be cleared and the final offer. You'll be fine, they just like to make sure you're given clearance by a gp to fly so frequently, amd yes I think they may be speeding things up given their knowledge of cabin crew historically having such a high turnover

Hi guys! Newbie here! I appreciate all your informative posts! I did my AD the other day and happy to say i made it! Now Qantas has sent me some of the stuff to do like links for the ASIC, Xref etc... Only issue is the actual link for the "Request for Passport & Visa Requirements" for some reason once i click on the click it takes me to my workday account but it has nothing about completing tasks for passport and visa requirements. There's another link there that takes me to a sign in page for Qantas employees but i cant access that since i dont have any employee log on details yet.

Just wondering if anyone has the same issues? im kinda worried since i only have 48 hrs to finish this part and that' expires tomorrow which is sunday. I already emailed TA since yesterday and they never got back to me.

I didn't actually get a request for passport and visa details, I think they get you to do that after you've successfully progressed through the xref, medical and ASIC checks. Maybe someone who has already received the golden call can shed some light on this as I'm also very interested to know when they ask for our passports and when we apply for visas

When I received the golden call I was asked if I had a current passport - which I do. The only visa you need is a US Visa (USA). It is called a C1/D Visa - for crew. Instructions on how to apply for the visa is sent out at the same time as the Contract. It is an online application and costs $272 - payable to the US Consulate. You can claim that back from Qantas after you start employment.
You need to have a current passport so the visa can be attached to one of the pages.

Thank you so much for this info, that makes a lot of sense. Thank goodness I renewed my passport this year. May I ask is the $272 in AUD or USD?

Cheers!

The visa is valid for 5 years.

Hi Hound, did they ask for a certain number of months validity for the passport? I've got about 12 months left on mine and wondering if I should start applying for a new one
