Hey Cap,
We processed her application here in Canada. I can't comment on the criteria required in Australia, but I'll note that ALL the forms used in our application process were on the letterhead of the Vancouver consulate. I imagine that the requirements would be similar.
All in,with photos and courier fees and so forth I think the outlay was about CAD $300. Part of the reason we filed in Canada was the ease of communication using couriers rather than wearing a groove in the road between Ubud and Renon.
Best of luck,
Nuwun
