Just a bit clearer on the recruitment process.
I just wanted a refresher in case I missed anything.
I'm sure others went for the same reason.
I wander how many more applicants they will get.

Family friendly lifestyle and all the crap. Did they mention much greater chance of getting cancer hence why 12 types of cancers cover firefighters under WorkCover? Do they mention cutting badly injured or dead people out of cars? Attending suicides? Etc.
Or is it all Rosey to attract the "diverse" workforce they want for some reason?

Has anyone started to drag people around at the beach.
I attended an info session this year and it was half empty. Did anyone attend the evening sessions? Were they full.
There is even a 5th session created for 29th. Is that because there was not as much interest as they expected this time around?

Same here.
Also know someone who got the rejection letter at the beginning of the year.
He was invited to redo the Ability Test but not the profiling as that is valid for 2 years.
He doesn't have to pay the $100 again so that is a win for him.
The MFS recruitment page has been updated and has a detailed timeline, which they have not done previously.

This is to advise you that your application remains active and will continue to do so for the application lifecycle period of 2 years effective from August 2018. During this time and subject to MFS requirements, you may be invited forward to contest the PAT1. It is important to note that you are not eligible to re-apply in Recruitment and Selection Campaigns that may occur within your 2-year application lifecycle period.
At least it’s positive but by the sounds of it, I’m still a long way back in line, but in the words of Jim Carey in Dumb and dumber “so you’re telling me there’s a chance!”

My results now will last 2 years from August 2018 and no need to reapply.
I guess that's good news somewhat? At least your still in for consideration - possibly in the next round later this year.
Did you receive an email or did you contact HR?
