https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship Finally the test is resumed in Melbourne. DHA has just updated today, only Melbourne office. Hope they resume more offices soon.

Congrats. I've found that SA, WA is really fast, many of them got test appointment just within 2-3 months. So sad to be in VIC, they even haven't resumed the test in VIC regional. I hope they can reopen soon, a huge backlog here

That's super fast compared to most of the cases we hear from this forum. Congrats!!! VIC will take years lol.

I'm waiting to see how they gonna clear the backlog in Victoria when it reopens. Simply ridiculous to close down all the test centers even super low risk.

Hi there, usually the test invitation being sent by email or post? Thanks.

Congrats.. I think Perth and Adelaide quite fast, mostly in 3 months.

Anyone changed the state after application? Will they arrange the test appointment according to your new resident address? Probably yes but just want to ask the experience. Also when we got a test appointment, let's say Sydney CBD can we reschedule by select a near by test place like Paramatta or only can reschedule at the same test center? Thank you.

I've just applied from Melbourne and since all the test centers here are closed so I selected proposed test center at other state. Do you think they will arrange according to my choice or according to my resident address?

Be positive. At least Sydney has some light at the end of the tunnel. I'm in Melbourne, struggling every day hahahahahahhaah

Hi, have you got a test now? Sydney already reopened. I'm in VIC and thinking to move to Sydney haha.

Hi Mamir, have you decided to move? Don't know when VIC will reopen

Ahh I'm thinking to move to Sydney from VIC. I heard that Parramatta already reopened and someone already got tested. According to Home Affairs website, Sydney office is reopened too.

Yeah I hope so. Don't want to pay A$2,700-3,000 for hotel quarantine :(. I read an article few days ago they said 1/3 backlog is in Vic (approx. 50,000 applicants). I'm not sure the government has any plan to speed up. Canada is in progress to allow online test now, I hope Australia would adopt a change in near future.

I called and asked Home Affairs, they said the test center will be arranged following the new address. I'm thinking to relocate too, too much depression under Dan. They said if you change the address or driving license, just update in Immi and wait :). You can call and double check.
