I think the Lower salary has put a lot of people off, but thankfully just clears out the people who are just in it for the money.

I doubt that there will be any movement on any more vetting forms this week, if I can remember back to campaign 1, then July there was no movement due to parades etc etc.

Hopefully in next 2 weeks the ball will get rolling again, Where are we at with the AC scores? 65-70's yet?

Hi there buddy, I have my vetting forms posted two weeks ago from the weekend just passed and am about two thirds way through the online learning, 68.5 AC score here.

Does anybody know or anticipate any vetting forms heading out soon? Just wondering as I'm really, really close lol. I have no idea time frames this campaign if there is any?

My guess would be next Monday they will start again.

Midgetgem84 · 23-07-2015 9:14am

So....anyone on here other than dream big & myself eagerly anticipating the next batch of calls (hopefully) in a couple of weeks time?

KevBo2015 · 23-07-2015 9:58am

I'd say 2-3 weeks from now stay beside the phone on a Thursday or Friday!!

Derob · 23-07-2015 10:00am

Is this for October intake? Any ideas when next one will be of those currently doing online learning at minute?

Midgetgem84 · 23-07-2015 10:42am

Cheers KevBo mate. Was sorta hoping that it would be around mid August! Not long for you now ;-)

Yea derob...This would be the August calls for October intake I'm waiting on. How far are you on in the process?

I'm at the same stage as you Derob. Waiting! Nearly done with online stuff. Tonight should finish it off I hope. Just waiting for PCA date too. Hope it comes soon. January feels like a lifetime away!

I know it does but considering we've been waiting a year to get to this stage six months will be nothing and we can enjoy our last Xmas lol

I'd be fairly confident that there will be an intake before Janurary, possibly two intakes.

Going by last campaign if you look at the forums history, once calls started to go out there was a general 5 week rotation of calls and intakes.

Things have been up and down with this campaign time wise but the first calls went out so, from then if we get more calls in 5 weeks one can assume normal recruitment times have begun.

Oh you think? See now you just made me nervous again a November intake then, I'm going to be screwed with my current employers as need to give more than the standard 4 weeks notice, but then what are they going to really be able to do, not like they could phone police on me haha!

Good to know.

That's a bit mega to have to give so much notice.
I don't think there's anything that they can do, I think what a company asks for and what employment law details regarding notification of resignation differs. I wouldn't worry too much.

jackrabbit09 · 23-07-2015 11:31am

Waiting for the call. Do you recon the call list is for intake September or October?

Well I would stress this is just me thinking out loud, going by what was posted here about the last campaign and time lines. We know they want to take on at least 100 officers, they have not recruited 50 yet so logically there will be another few intakes. If you take on 3x38 its just over 100.

They will give you 4-6 weeks notice so there would be no problem with the current employers. What stage are you on the whole process? I'd say those who had medicals last month should be in line for the next batch of calls...

Thanks Constable Dibble, yeah they ask for a week for every year you've worked for them, but when the time comes I'll be running out the door they can try catching me but my fitness is too well improved I doubt they'll manage, going to get stuck into elearning at weekend, have been taking my time with it and taking a lot of notes

Thanks Kevbo, yeah at elearning stage with vetting sent back start of month, no PCA date yet but from what I've heard these usually come out 3 weeks after elearning sent so this week next week I reckon we will have a date for end of August/september

panini · 23-07-2015 12:28pm

I wouldn't get too stressed with the e learning at this stage, you can print it all off, save the pdf's to your computer and you apparently get to access it if you get the call for a week before your start date. Each to their own of course, I can't blame you for getting stuck in!

Midgetgem84 · 23-07-2015 12:42pm

Top info again KevBo...legend!

So that's jackrabbit, dream big and myself waiting on the next batch of calls? Anyone else out there? Just good to know all the rest of the crew in this boat of ours when the calls next go out haha

Maybe someone else can confirm or deny, but I'm pretty sure they said recruitment would be going into 2016? So hopefully maybe 2 more intakes between now and Xmas and maybe one or two after?

Only reason I'm thinking that is there was ones who only submitted their vetting forms a few weeks back and it can take months for it to clear

Jalapeno peppers · 23-07-2015 1:18pm

Guys I would learn that e learning in as much detail as possible because if you get in you will be tested on it and you will have more to learn before coming in in addition to it- do it as well as you can now and don't give yourself more work down the line!

That's my thinking on it too, would rather get it I the head now then just refresh it before going in if I get there

Vetting sent. Nearly finished online learning and PCA letter arrived today!

QueenP · 23-07-2015 6:35pm

So from these posts today there's only going to be an intake every 2months? With the first intake starting in August? Or have I read this all wrong lol

The first intake is in August and there's an intake scheduled every 5 weeks after that. There will probably be 3-4 intakes before the end of the year.

Not all pointed at you Derob, just a bit of it but didn't want to do loads of posts lol.

Ok so the calls went out in campaign 1 like clockwork every 5 weeks, only exception being July "festivities" lol. So my calculation you should all be staring at the phone first Wednesday to Friday of August willing it to ring with an unknown number!!!!

You'll have an induction weekend approx 2 weeks after that call, must attend BOTH Saturday and Sunday. You'll start on a Sunday approx 3 weeks after that.

My suggestion to anyone who has passed everything including vetting is to have a word with the employer. See if the notice period is negotiable. You could take annual leave and give your notice if you're going to be stuck. Failing that since the recruiting process is on a MERIT basis you guys who are called this time coming (August calls) will have a higher merit number than the following intake (September calls). If you need to give longer than 5 weeks notice you could defer to the following intake therefore giving your employer up to 10 WEEKS NOTICE and you'd be one of the first people called in September as you'd obviously have a higher merit number. People have deferred for several reasons before, weddings, new babies etc and all got the call the next month. There's ways and means people. Just cos youve got the long awaited call from someone doesn't mean you have to take it, they're humans at the end of the phone and they'll do their best to work with you if you let them know what's going on. The last thing they want is a wasted space
