It's coming up to 10 months since my application was received (18th Oct) and I had an AOR in January. The processing time online indicates 8-9 months as I applied through NZ embassy, but I am a British citizen. I understand that this time will be longer now. Is it worth filling in the web form? I'm not sure what to write, but I fear it may go to program support.

You can write to your embassy first to find out the status of CPC Sydney, if they are processing applications and from which month currently. The embassy usually has some more useful information, although not specifically related to your application but you will get some ideas where you stand.
I would anyway just write via the web form to inquire, see if they could provide you with any info, from my experience though their answers are always very generic...
also CPC Sydney was closed between Mar-Jun and only started operating again in July. For sure they are huge delays since they have a lot of backlog...

This is my timeline:
Aug 2019 – Application received
Nov 2019 – AOR sent
Mar 2020 – Processing (status was changed to "Decision made")
Aug 2020 – Complete and certificate sent
I'm still waiting for the arrival of the certificate.
I am told they have a lot of backlog to go through now and for sure things are being delayed a lot.
It's really a frustrating situation.

Sorry for a dumb question... I searched through the forums before asking, but just want to be 100% sure I understand.
The current status of my application is "decision made." However, when I look at the specifics, it says:

I have the same case and it means a decision has been made, it should mean the application is approved, if you were not contacted for any problem.
