TLDR : Answer Summary
The average processing time for a Confirmation of Enrollment (COE) in Australia is reported to be around 3 days, based on experiences shared by others who applied through the Canberra and Sydney embassies. However, applicants should be aware of potential delays due to public holidays, especially during the festive season.

yes U have to get permission to leave for me it was no problem as I've spent most of the last 10 years in Thailand. The email sent to me said allowed to leave as leaving for more than 3 months so I think if U get 90 day or STV visa U should be ok

this is what they gave me at Sydney, I remember I went on line it says Sydney or Canberra, and I clicked Sydney. It probably all goes thru Canberra, maybe my misunderstanding ๐Ÿ‘
