So less than a week you'd say? Just that I need to start work after christmas and I would need it before that. A little worried holidays might slow down the processing for WWCC.
They probably will slow it down.
It might be as quick as a few days, it might be the whole 4 weeks.
Literally no way to know until you do it.
From a legal perspective, I believe you have up to 39 days after starting work to actually provide your check, often workplaces are happy for you to show that you have put your application in and then update them once it has been cleared.
I'm in the ACT, not NSW, but it generally takes a couple of weeks.
That said, it can be way longer than that. It usually takes me closer to six weeks because I've lived in multiple states and I have a common name.
When I started a job with several younger people (18-21), they cleared in about a week. Whereas another colleague and I took about six. (We were both older and had lived at multiple addresses in multiple states.)
Also, the Christmas break will slow things down. I'm in the public service and we're on skeleton staff at the moment.
If you have an even remotely common name, have lived interstate (or overseas), been married or moved multiple times all of this will add time. The average is about 7-10 business days. Low end is 5 business days. High end is 30.
It’s officially 3-12 weeks in Vic now. Mine was renewed in a week but it was just a renewal without any personal info change. My coworker had to wait for 3 weeks so it really depends.
It varies wildly from case to case. Mine was pretty quick, but I believe officially they say up to 4 weeks.
There is often a grace period for you to provide your check.

It's possible, but don't hold your breath. It really is the wrong time of year for speedy turn-arounds!
The holidays will slow it down for sure.
Not in NSW. My police checks and WWCC, always come back fast, I put it down to my unusual surname, there aren’t many of us.
The receipt/application is often proof enough to start.

Mine have never taken more than a few days

Just to add another data point. For my family it is usually very fast, fastest was within a few hours, longest took about 2 days.
Ugh that waiting time sounds rough, hope you get it fast!

Faster if you submit it now than if you submit it after reading Reddit replies.
If you need it ASAP then do it ASAP, OP.
