Hi Michael, I work at the Australian Government Department of Human Services in a team that responds to enquiries about Centrelink on social media sites like this one.

Most student claims are completed within 21 days of being lodged, depending on the complexity. If you haven't been asked to provide more information, you should contact Centrelink by either calling the student line on 132 490, or dropping into your local service centre, to check on the progress of your claim.

All the best.
