In Victoria the process for a long arms license is:
1) Apply for safety course - takes 2-4 weeks to get in.
2) Apply for license -
Must wait 28 days before license is issued.
3) Apply for first rifle permit -
Must wait 28 days before first permit is issued (but can be submitted with license to skip a bit)
After that permits can be done online and take 3-5 days usually for additional rifle permits.
In short though about 8-10 weeks on average to get your first rifle.
A bit longer in other states I believe and those without online permits take about 2 weeks to get them back for additional rifles.
Pistol licensing process in Victoria takes 9+ months.
