OZ joinig the paras?

[chriszg_oz]

G'day mates! I'm knew to the forum so just to introduce myself. My name's Chris, 23 years old and currently an OZ student living in Croatia. Have a few questions about joining the paras: 1) Do I have to meet any special requirements or regulations since I'm OZ ( like having a UK sponsor or residence) 2) What documents do I need? 3) How long does it take for me to sign up, do the medical and start selection? 4) When's selection?
I've been to the British Embassy in Croatia but I didn't get any specific info about joining. I can't even recieve the info pack. Any help or advice is welcome. Cheers mates!

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm not only interested in the Paras but also the army in general. Thanks
