The only difference with the selection process was that you were only competing with others from the Mount Gambier Station and not everyone "off the street" as such.
We still had to complete everything to a satisfactory level like the physical aptitude test (PAT) 1 and 2, literacy and numeracy, abilities profiling etc.
Obviously, some missed out and were disappointed, but they seem to be dealing with it and have moved on to maybe, promotions within retained ranks down the track to replace some of the senior firefighters accepted into career ranks.
