Baby Born in Australia

Hi! All,
We have PR for Australia. We are expecting a baby in Jan next year. As I understand if our baby is born in Australia she will get the citizenship automatically.
Can anyone tell me how long does it take to get the citizenship/passport, as we have to return back to our place of work, which is outside Australia.
Thanks

Re: Baby Born in Australia

An Australian passport would be the best option. But there is always
the option of an Australian Declaratory Visa in the child's foreign
passport:
