yuo must take in to account any time you have spent abroad too, such as holidays since you first arrived as PRs

i don't believe you'll be able to apply until you have reached the current two year requirements (assuming you are on a PR visa at the moment)

Re: appying for citzeinship
A word of warning, there is a huge backlog of applications in WA, we could not get an interview until the end of May when we called in early Jan. When I spoke to the DIMIA office on the phone they just booked me in and asked no other questions....may be worth trying to organise an interview now for July/August time.

You cannot apply before you have clocked up 2 years. Simple as that. No problem however calling a few months in advance to book a citizenship interview for when you reach the 2 year mark.

What isn't clear about the website? The residence calculator is very clear and you won't get any better advice if you call up.
