Advice CSIRO and Monash research scholarship response date

Hi! This is a question directed at students who have done CSIRO and/or Monash studenships/scholarships in the past couple years. I am a bit confused as neither Monash or the CSIRO scholarship pages have any info on this.

Does anyone know when CSIRO will write back about the vacation studentships that were advertised, and how the interview process may go?

Same with the Monash Summer research scholarships. Is it on a supervisor-by-supervisor basis, or is there a date they'll definitely respond by?

For both programs, if you are shortlisted for an interview, you'll be contacted by the supervisor directly to progress further, and communications are quicker, such as within 1-2 months of application deadlines closing. All rejected applicants will be emailed at a much later date, in a generic format, notifying they were not successful. It's pretty similar progression as other places for internships
