After You Apply, What Happens Next …….
1. When you apply, you will recieve a notice from National with a registration number. This should happen quickly.

It is recommened that you call your local Council office about two weeks after applying to be sure that they have received your staff application and that it is being processed. When your Council approves your staff application, you will receive an email confirming this.
3. Your application next travels to your 1st choice area leader, in this case it is the band. The application is approved conditionally* and you are sent an offer. You must accept this offer within 15 days or your application will automatically be sent to your 2nd choice, and so on. When you accept the offer you will recieve a confirmation.
