Good to know
Details come from the Sydney consulate's appointment guide PDF, which shows no publication date (it mentions online passports starting 4 Nov 2024); no fee schedule could be read (Cancilleria cost pages did not load). The Canberra consulate page says service is by appointment (phone +61 2 6230 4206), Mon-Fri 9:30-12:30 and 14:30-16:30. Fees from the Sydney consulate-general schedule effective 1 Mar 2024 and the Canberra consulate schedule effective 3 Oct 2024 (both more than 12 months old, in AUD); the two differ slightly, current amounts to be confirmed with the consulate.
