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)
see the calculator on this page to find out when you can apply

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

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.

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.

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.
