Juliet...i went thru medical security check with mam...around may for brisbane positions. I recieved a letter from them last week. the wait may take a while. Is there any way you can check up on whether they have done your reference checks. They might take a little while to respond....the waiting isnt much fun...but hang in there...I know for brisbane group they have done 2 intakes..and the rest of the ones sent to medical stage have either recieved on hold for six months letter or thanks but no thanks.
best of luck hun

Juliet,
I had my interview with Qantas/MAM early this month (July). I have passed my medical and received a call from Maurice Alexander himself saying they would like to put me through training school. That was about 1 week after the interview and I haven't heard anything since. He said he called just to say he wanted to keep me updated on the process. I am also deperately waiting for a letter or call to be told when training starts. Don't panic just yet, I know these things can take a while and although I have been given the green light I can't tell you when things will start. Hang in there sweetie and don't give up.

goodluck all,
Get used to the waiting i waited 11months for a no letter from the BigQ, even after going thru medical and security check, maybe MAM/QF have a different system of employing this time around. All the best

thank you everyone for replying to my post. it doesn't sound very hopeful for me that a training school will be starting tomorow in sydney and i haven't had a phone call or letter. all the money i have spent on medicals vacinations and the police check out the window. i know my referees have been called. does anyone know if there will be another training school in sydney? 
congratulations to everyone who made it and good luck to anyone still waiting to hear.

Juliet, have faith in yourself, stop listening to everyoue else's advice, No one knows what is going on with YOUR application...
I am going through the same thing, my third interview was 2 weeks ago tomorrow. On my application I wrote that I have to give 2 weeks notice to my current employer.... They looked at my application BEFORE the interview.. If there is only one ground school and it starts tomorrow, then they must know that in order for me to make it to that ground school, I would have had to give my notice to my current employer the day before that interview.... Doesn't make sense does it?? They told us they would call us in a couple of weeks or so. The people at tomorrows ground school must have been told at least 2 weeks ago in order for them to give fair notice to thier current employers, which means that they could not have gone through the interviews with us 2 weeks ago......
Good luck

HI Juliet Juliet,
I don't know about QF but I just finished my training at VB and we had three classes running at the one time, and I think that there are another two this month.
Don't forget that the whole industry is very unpredictable-- all the way down to the recruitment processes. So just hold in there- like Biccy C said you are closer than those who haven't done their medical and ref checks!!!
Just keep the battery on your mobile fully charged and you will be fine.
love SMILE

Hi juliet juliet,
I finished training with QF about 2 months ago and there were 4 classes that overlaped each other during the space of 2 months and each class had 16 students. We were all permenant long haul F/As and there were also about 4 classes of short haul F/As too. QF usually have several classes going through at the same time some overlap and some dont.
My advice is to keep positive because they will call you. Its the best job and you are in.......good luck!!

Have you heard of people already recieving "no letters'? Is this in Sydney or Melbourne? I know about 8 people that have made it through the interview process but havent heard anything at all yet. How sad for all those people that paid for medicals ect once again.

I can't shed a lot of light on what's happening with the MAM recruiting but I can tell you what has happened in Brisbane.
The group interviews and 2nd interviews were held in Brisbane at the end of April this year. After the second interview people were given a no immediately or given their medical and security check forms.
Some Brisbane F/A's have been through school in dribs and drabs. No more than twenty to date and that includes the ones in school at the moment.
Last week after waiting all this time, some poor people got letters of rejection, whilst others got waitlist letters. A large percentage still haven't heard either way.
AUSTRALIAN INFO
FACT: It generally takes on average 3 weeks to run a security check so if you haven't heard from Australian yet think of when you mailed back your form.
FACT: Australian Airlines is operating two daily services in it's first month of operation. The other 4 destinations don't begin flying until the end of November. Therefore it makes perfect sense to stagger schools from September through to early November. No point having an excess of workers on the payroll with nothing for them to do.
So stop stressing guys! The Australian Airlines interviewing and recruitment process has been the most professional I have had the pleasure of participating in.
And believe me I have been through many in the last 5 months so I have plenty of experiences for comparison.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Just a couple of questions out of curiosity…..
Do QF/ MAM make you pay for your medical out of your own pocket????
What exactly are they looking for with the security checks?? Is this in relation to gaining your ASIC id tags???
