I can't pm you as I've never posted before, I'd massively appreciate if you could let me know the details for this PT. Cheers.

Good evening, I hope someone that has completed the application can help me.
when filling in the application there is a section to attach service history. Do you know what they require?
I am not sure what exactly they are asking for!

Thanks in advance
Mark

I’m in the Met not sure if your force has the same thing but I attached a screen shot/pdf of my HR record on self service system
it shows your details at the top name warrant number etc and then underneath dates and ranks/positions etc

They seemed to have accepted that as I’ve passed through the beginning stages and been requested to complete the physical and psychological assessments.

you also put in line manager etc on the form so worst case they can either email you for more info and confirm details with line managers.

hopefully that helps somewhat.

My Force HR supplied me with a list of all the roles I've performed in my career with dates, ranks etc... it was aaccepted by WA and passed that stage

Thank you for the help. I am also Met so I will do that.
Thanks again

Has anyone heard back after submitting fitness assessment and completing online tests?? Are we all getting an interview I wonder? Also in relation to housing ,wapol supply accommodation outside of Perth I believe does anyone know is this guaranteed. If I'm successful I'll be relocating with my wife and 2 kids so obviously accommodation concerns us as I'm sure it does with everyone else . I'm applying from Ireland, we roughly added up the cost of relocating a family of four and a dog and we are at 38k euro.

Hi all, following this thread with interest.

I'm an Inspector with 15 years service in West Yorkshire.

At the same stages as most of you with the psychometric and physical tests.

Just struggling to source a PT who can assist me at the mo.

Mossy... would you be kind enough to share your PT details you used in Merseyside. May have to have a trip over there.

If anyone knows anyone closer to Leeds I would also be grateful to find out.

Thanks

hi mate. I’ve private messaged you

I haven’t heard anything about WAPol providing housing. I’m planning for that not to be the case. If it is then that’s a bonus!

OK, not having been Regional the information I can supply is limited and apologies if I don't get it quite right.

In Regional Perth housing is not supplied by WAPOl but by the government for all government employed regional workers; police, ambos, nurses and such like. GROH (Government Regional Officer Housing) can be a mixed bag depending on where you go. One colleague got a brand new four bed house while another had a house which had a termite infestation and he spent 6 months fighting to be moved to a better property. But on the whole it's of a pretty good standard.
WAPol pay relocation costs and give you time off to move. GROH housing comes various benefits depending on where you go, such as reduced rent and other perks such as your air conditioning being paid for.

In Metro normally when your posted you are subject to tenure, 2 years minimum, 4 years max after which you can move on. When my intake started we were subject to a 6 months 'probation' after which we could move postings (not sure if that will still apply) after which a couple from the class went Regional.

Pretty much everyone I have spoken to who has done Regional absolutely loved it saying it's very rewarding and a great place to bring up the kids. A lot come back to Metro when their kids reach high school age in order to send them to a school near by ( in Regional you may have to send kids to a boarding high school in the nearest big town). You get to do some real community based policing engaging with parents and kids in all sorts of activities and sports. I know of people who have spent pretty much their whole careers going from one Regional posting to another. As far as I am aware, once you go country there's no stipulation that you have to come back to Metro.

But also bear in mind that for most postings, especially East and North, your a long way from anywhere. I had a friend who did Denham for 2 years. His monthly shop was an 8 hour round trip to Carnavon and a large chest freezer is must !

Cheers for all your posts mate, I’ve been keeping an eye on this forum and first time I’ve posted.

When you mention about WAPol paying for relocation costs, is that for moving from metro to rural, or is it from UK to Aus.

If successful, I’m planning for paying everything myself so anything that is paid for us is a bonus!

Chris7821

Thank you, won't let me read it until I've done 3 posts as a new member!

I'm going to jump into the general Aussie forum and start asking some questions there.

Anyone know what's after these tests? Interview I presume?

Cheers
