Don't they say a minimum of 12weeks on the application? So that's 3 months. I got mine in 4 months with patience I never rang or hassled them and that was 8 years ago. I find it funny people ring and take up weapons licensing time and wonder why things take time.

Patience is a virtue not too many people have these days in a world of instant gratification. Everything takes time and will be ready when it's ready...
But.
12 week minimum to process an application is a joke.
These employees of the government probably have a direct line to databases to perform the required checks. So let's say an application lands on a desk and takes 10 minutes to check your history/offences/etc, then another 10 minutes to complete the application. Remember they probably do this everyday so I doubt it would take longer.
That's 20 minutes. 8 hour day, allow for stoppages and you're looking at approx 18 applications per employee. Let's say there is around 5 employees processing them, that's 90 applications per day.
Why the excessive wait times in 2018.
PS - I used to work for the QLD government in an area that processed applications.
