At Australia Post I was informed on enquiry a renewed passport would take 'six to eight weeks'.
Submitting an application, the same clerk said 'six weeks'.
I lodged it at Post on Tuesday 29 March. It arrived today (Tuesday 19 April 2022, the first business day after Easter).
Having it come in 13 business days is excellent. It suggests the extra staff put on by the Federal Government have seen (some?) processing times rapidly decrease. Pleasing.
As many know, first time applications take longer. I know others in this situation so will enquire.
However, DC3's advice to get in as early as possible is sound.
