The technical innovation might not shorten the (often very lenghty!) waiting period. However, it reassures applicants that their application has progressed and when they can expect a positive (or negative) answer.

Is the new online tool also designed for citizenship applicants?

Yes, the same online tool will tell Germans and others who are applying for Australian citizenship, where they stand in the queue and - should they be successful - by when they are likely to receive the coveted Australian citizenship.
