hey guys,
how long did it take for everyone to get their golden calls after their ASIC was submitted for background checks?
i got the text about my ID being submitted for background checks on the 23/11 and my medical was completed the day after that, and still waiting on the call. could the fact that i currently hold an ASIC for a different airline have anything to do with it taking a while? starting to stress!!!!!
thanks guys

Hi, for those who have received their golden calls, did the recruitment team call you with a mobile phone number? I missed a few calls on Friday and called them back but they all had incoming phone restrictions. Will the Qantas talent team send an email or text if you miss your golden call? Low key worried now hahahaa

ASIC - took about 6-8 weeks for me to receive the card after I completed the security check
If there are any issues with ASIC, they will ask you to provide additional details so if you don't hear anything, it is a good sign.

I received the golden call before I received the ASIC card

Hi everyone, I emailed TA last week to ask if there was any way I could check the progress of my ASIC application, and they replied yesterday advising that it was complete and they have recieved clearance for that. I'm wondering if you guys might have any ideas why I haven't been called since now everything is complete?

I just want to advise anyone scheduled for GS soon.
Make sure that you have no social engagements planned as the course is hard if you have no previous airline experience. You will need to spend all of your spare time studying in preparation for the exams which are often and need to be word perfect. I'm surviving on 4-5 hours sleep per night just to keep up. If you have already received your manuals, start becoming familiar with them.
Getting to this stage does not mean you have a job. I have seen 4 people from 3 different classes sent home in the past 3 weeks because they couldn't cut it. It's a tough course because you need to be able to absorb what it takes from a safety standpoint and learning the drills and commands can be exhausting and there is no room for error. You are being assessed from the moment you walk in the door.

I spoke with someone from TA today (as they called me a week ago to help as didn't get the ASIC link) they said all Jan GS are full and finalised the next lot of GS are in Feb and March, however they won't start calling or booking people in till very early Jan for them. Thought that would help, he said if there is no update by Feb to contact them.

Hope this helps you :)

Hey,
I was just wondering if it is possible to ask for a specific location of gs or do you have to just stick to the gs location allocated to you?

Does any one have any idea how many MEL base ground schools are planned at this stage?
