Police certificates can take a long time to come through with each country having its own timetable. Some countries offer a fastrack system where you pay more to expedite the certificate. In the UK the standard time is up to 40 days but I'm sure it varies up or down from that. It doesn't give a specific time on the page for Australia which isn't very helpful. I see it asks for a certified set of fingerprints, too. Sheesh, that's a bit awkward.

This is all it says for Australia.

Specific procedure for Australia
Applicants in Australia – apply to your local police station in the State or Territory where you are currently residing and ask for a National Fingerprint and Name Check police certificate.

Applicants outside Australia – request forms to apply for a National Fingerprint and Name Check police certificate from the address below.

Apply to:

Australian Federal Police
Criminal History Branch
Locked Bag 1
WESTON ACT 2611

Once the forms are received, a certified set of fingerprints will be required along with the completed forms.

A fee is payable.
