If I needed the card for employment and had to wait over 6 weeks, I would be ropable particularly if I wasn't getting paid. Next time I will submit 3 months in advance to ensure I don't end up with an expired card. For the money we need to pay, the delay in processing time is ridiculous particularly considering that I've held a pilots licence for over 30 years, what's the place coming too??
The ASIC collection process has seemingly added another element of delay. In my case, Merimbula have done their work, oz check have done theirs, but I’m waiting for the agent to advise ready for collection. Pretty p$ssed at the tardy performance. Duck Pilot is onto something wrt perpetual asic until loss of privilege occurs.
