Does anyone know how many LA/and PC couples are currently waiting for placement in the various pools?
I am trying to win a bet with a friend who believes that there are well over 200 in each now, which seems astronomical to me considering that last time we asked (last year) there were about 50 in each!

Yep I do believe I remember the figure 50ish being said to us this time last year by the SW while we were waiting for panel. I would also be highly surprised if 150 couples were approved in the last 12 months!!
So goggly I say you win! Hope there is a prize for you : )
We need china to come by, she is good with stats!!

I have a bag of freddos riding on it, so the stakes are high!
I did wonder if there had been a massive influx from international, however I would assume they would still have to go through the assessment process and ed groups for local as the two approvals don't transfer (which is really silly).

Enjoy those Freddos!
I just looked on the website. There are 6 Education Groups for the whole year for the state. I think it is max 10 couples (but when we did PC Education Groups there was on 6). So that is max 60 couples getting through Education Groups every year and not all of them proceed.
So I still say there is no a chance there is 200 approved and waiting!!
