I know of guys who waited weeks and weeks for their PPL only to receive all their documents back in the mail saying that they required an ASIC application as well. This despite the fact that the applicant already had a valid ASIC and a duly certified copy was enclosed with everything else by the flying school.
CASA take note - you are not the only ASIC issuing body in Australia. History has shown though that your are certainly the worse.
To set your systems up in such a way that the process will onlly be completed if you also receive an ASIC application is bureaucratic, ignorant and a demonstration of the fact that you really do not know what is going on.
