  "description": "Renewal of an adult Australian passport from within Australia through the Australian Passport Office's online application portal, printed and lodged at a participating Australia Post outlet. This document describes the eligibility conditions for renewal (as opposed to a new/first-time application), the applicant and contact-detail inputs, the current-passport and photo inputs, and the processing-speed and payment choices. It does not submit the application; the live passports.gov.au sources are always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md). Applying from outside Australia is a separate process, out of scope here.",

Eligibility, photo, and fee/payment-channel facts were read directly from those official pages. The granular applicant/contact/previous-passport field set was modelled on the corroborated pattern shared with the published gb/hmpo, ie/dfa, and ca/ircc passport-renewal schemas, cross-checked against secondary renewal-process walkthroughs, because the AusPassport online form itself sits behind an authenticated session the review could not reach. Status remains 'draft'. Fees are intentionally not encoded as authoritative data."
