The global processing time benchmarks of the visa subclass 188 investor stream in Australia are estimated to be a range between 22-42 months for 90% of the applications. The time to process would depend on the quality of your lodgement, and level of thoroughness in evidence that you have submitted at the time of application. It would also depend on the number of applicants for the visa applying the same time as you. The significant investor visa processing time is much faster than the investor stream visa at current benchmarks of 12-22 months. At the moment, the government is yet to announce if this particular stream would remain for this year. If it does, the quota is very much limited. You are advised to get in touch with a migration professional who will guide you in the latest policy developments; how to apply and the best measures to take in applying and being able to move to Australia at the same time.
