I am also from Melbourne Australia and you’ve inspired me to share my story because it’s much the same lol.
I submitted my application for first adult UK passport on 2nd December, sent all of my documentation (express post) on 9th December (article received by Australia Post on 9th December)
It was finally delivered to the Durham office on 26th Jan, and subsequently marked as documents received on the 3rd of Feb.
I am now waiting for my application outcome which still says application being processed since 3rd Feb.
The passport page on the Gov site ( https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-passport-office/about-our-services ) indicates the typical processing times as of 06/03 is 6 weeks for applying for your first passport. Last week it said 5 weeks..
6 weeks for me will be the end of next week (18/03) so I am eagerly awaiting the outcome. I am not in a rush so I haven’t bothered to call them up rather sitting patiently waiting for my shiny new passport.
Will write back once I get the outcome.. Glad to know I’m not the only one though. All the best! 🙂
