    I would guess that they have extra people on the panel in case somebody turns down an offer?

    I got the same email, placed on a panel and will find out in 2 weeks. Bit annoying cause I didn't know anything about the panel just presumed we would know one way or the other! Wondering if anyone got offered the job yet or just all on the panel??

    Yes I think everyone is on the panel and they draw down until all the roles are filled

    I got the same email. Placed on a panel and will hear within 2 week's if offered a position. So for all of us on the panel it's no guarantee of receiving a job offer.

    Yeah like the job is due to start in 2.5 weeks so was hoping to hear a few weeks in advance to prepare etc!

    Didn’t realise there was going to be a panel.

    Pretty difficult to make plans now. Considering there is to be training the 28th/1st and 2nd.

    Didnt they also open up again only recently so assumed they didn’t have a big response first time around.

    Think they will be calling a lot on the panels. As I’m sure a lot drop out. Don’t start etc. not like it’s a well paid position to begin with.

    There's also the fact that contracts, official secrecy act forms etc would have to be signed and send back in advance of acceptance of an offer.

    I did an interview, got the panel email yesterday and have a missed call from the local officer just now. Having read this post it's turned me off accepting (assuming that is what she was ringing me for). I work full time 40hrs a week with 20 days holidays a year. I don't think giving 4 days holidays to this is something i want to do.

    I think last time around you get paid in batches with a final lump sum payment when you collect all the forms. I can't recall it being a weekly payment.

    Had a call on Friday, but it went to voice-mail. Phoned again this afternoon and was offered a position. All around my own area, so should be handy enough.

    Got the acceptance forms a short while later in an email, and submitted all the details on the website. First training day is on Zoom, and days 2 and 3 will be face-to-face. 2-3 hours in the mornings on March 1st and 2nd. Looking forward to it...

    Oh I wonder if the training is for same for everyone? I was told training 28th 1st and 2nd and it will be about 4 hours each day and will be on in the evenings! Just presumed it was online. Wonder where it will be held if its in person.
