The Aust gov passports page indicates an 'urgent' application should be ready in two business days from when they receive it. Does anyone know if during the current delays on normal processing, this has slipped out a bit? I'm returning from the UK for two weeks and want to get my passport renewed while home but if it takes more than a week I could be in trouble...
FWIW I put my urgent / priority application in with a suburban Sydney post office (not GPO / central post office which I understand is faster) on a Monday 2 months ago, I received it back at my home express post on the Thursday of that same week
