Thanks for the heads up re: the backlog! When I applied for my licence at least, they input my application into the online system quite quickly - on the day when that they received it (I send off such things in registered mail usually and it shows tracking). But it's been about a week so far since they received my PTA application and it hasn't been logged in the system.
And you're right, the Firearms Registry in NSW could do with a bit of streamlining. I think I remember reading that they're wanting to transition more of their operations online? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking that's become a delusion.
Edit: Seems like they've charged my credit card for the fee, so it's probably just sitting on top of the stack that says '28 day waiting period for new firearm owners because there's nothing more enjoyable than making them wait endlessly and pointlessly!'
