They confirmed on the day of payment my appointment for 4 days later

Hi Debbie,
You take the eye test without glasses, then with glasses.
Hearing test is in a separate room with both wired ear plugs covered over with a headset. Just listen carefully for the beeps and respond when you hear them.

oh wow thats crazy with so much happening! afaik, i think early January also have the same situation with lots of training. And yes TA have been very helpful with my application ☺️ Just wanted to touch base on how far along these ground schools have been progressing as it seems very hectic at the moment! All the best with training, can’t wait to hear about your experiences!

Thank you Intellisis, that's very reasurring!

Ground school
 

hi! Ive received a call and been offered ground school on January 8 in Abu dhabi. Still awaiting contract prior to resigning!

anyone in the same boat?

Hi Paradise,
Discussing it with others at GS it seems certain components are different depending on where you have the assessment.
Some had to do 15 push ups and 15 sit ups, whereas some of us didn't.
What hasn't varied are the muscular-skeletal function tests, coordination tests, dexterity, and lifting weights.
There is also a blood pressure check and the 3 minute step test is to measure heart rate...I suggest for these two you don't drink coffee prior to the assessment.
Side planks and squats are also involved as is vision and hearing tests.
Good luck with it. If I passed it, anyone can :)

I got the call yesterday and have been offered Jan 8th in Abu Dhabi as well!

hi millsdeqndra,

does Qantas wait until you’ve received your asic clearance before they offer you ground school

thanks

Hi. I start GS in Sydney on 4th January.

Hi all, I have my medical tomorrow. Does anyone know if with sit up exercise can you use feet support as I'm hopeless at doing them without. I'm scared I'll fail that part

wow! How exciting!
Congrats! Hope they send us contracts soon!

hey! Yes, once that is cleared you’re all set :) then medicals and certificates

Hi guys! Do you think there is any benefit from emailing TA and asking for an update in regards to your online questions? Or do you think that would be a detriment to my application? I did it at the start of November and I’m hoping the silence is good news!

hi!
have they finally sent you the contract?

its been a week for me including the weekends!
but ive got a month notice but wanting to resign already

Hi,

Congratulations to all who received golden calls :)
I was wondering how long after you guys received the golden calls after your medicals.
I have submitted for ID check on 22/10/22 and the 3 certificates and done my medical on 04/11/22 however I have not heard anything back from Qantas.
I am worried if I am successful for the medical..
If you guys can let me know the time period of receiving golden calls after medicals that would be great!
Also, I was told that it will take up to 6 to 8 weeks for the ID check, is this true?

Hi. The time-lines seem to vary a lot. I did my medical on 9th Nov, and received the golden call on 14th Nov. I submitted my security/ID check on 19th Sep and it took 8 weeks for approval.

Hi everyone, I received my medical questionairre today, and had to tick that I'd had anaemia in the past (which is resolved now and was diet related). I'm getting the clarification form filled out by my gp tomorrow, but I'm wondering if anyone else had something on the medical questionairre but still got progressed?

Also, has it happened to anyone that they were asked for their certificates, xref and medical before receiving the email asking them to do the security clearance? I reminded them twice that I haven't yet received that email, but they still haven't sent it.

Thank you! Seems like I need to wait for the ID security check is done. But I am worried so much if I am unsuccessful for the medical.. :(

Do we get notified of the outcome of our medicals via email?

We don’t get any notifications of the outcome! However you can call bodycare to check if they have already sent the report to Qantas TA. Bodycare will not disclose the outcome to you, only Qantas knows if you pass the medical or not.

If it’s been a while (more than a month) after you submitted everything and completed your medical, it’s good to contact TA to touch base.
