The Police have cancelled the safe inspection saying they didn't realise I was a new applicant.
Phoned WLB to check on the status of application and the nice lady told me it hadn't even been looked at. She said she would look at mine next and I had the approval email in less than 30 mins. 1st PTA came through in 2 hrs, now just waiting for the 2nd PTA and the licence.

Congratulation!
how long did you wait exactly from the day 1 before you make the phone call to WLB.
seems like call them will make it faster however I still have 2 more weeks then total 3 months after application.
should I wait a bit and call them because I haven't heard anything from them yet.
Updated
received local police check this morning by email and I went to straightaway.
Do i need to reply them that I have completed or the local police station will notify them?

It seems very strange, perhaps my name just came up for some reason?

WLB is part of the “public service” ,their service is very very poor.
My son’s driver licence only took a week to be delivered what’s the difference?

I rang WLB today and was told very abruptly to wait another week and then call back.
This mob are bloody useless
I am sure they are just trying to frustrate applicants into giving up.
I have a pta that’s approved just waiting for the waiting period to expire.
Can you actually possess the firearm without having the plastic card.

Not yet mate. If I work it out as they say within 10-14 Working Days. Then the earliest (to be safe) would be next Friday 12th (cause we had a public hol) up to the 18th. After that I'll be on the phone to chase it up. Will post when/if it arrives.

8 weeks?! - that sucks big time. Have you chased them up? I won't have that much patience - I've got gear paid for and waiting to be picked up.
Patriot wrote:Yes mate,phoned them many times
I have had to submit a stat dec saying I have not recieved the card in the post.
Spoke to them a week ago,they say they received the stat dec and will now reprint...hopefully I get it within 10-14 business days.
Yes I also have a nice new Impala Plus 28 inch wood stock bolt action shottie paid for waiting to be picked up.
But can’t posses it until I have the card.
It sucks big time and the staff at WLB do give a damn about their blatant and deliberate incompetence
