I reckon the Australian Awards people may help. Let them know about your situation.
Alternately, you can fly to POM and sort it out. Many PNGeans from outside of Pom have done that after having delays a d difficulty with travel doc.

I wish I could help. But I am unable to atm.

Many thanks for reaching out.

All the best of luck.

Could you kindly include the contact address,phone numbers, email address
and names for officers to contact at the locations to make it easier for
people like us living in other Provinces so we can know the days they operate
to deal with passports and other issues before we start travelling because
it costs money and time to travel?
