Me and my wife both Indian citizens living in USA on H1B visa. To meet family living in Australia we decided to make a December trip to australia back in mid October. Applied individually ( as suggested by other applicants) visitor visa (600 class) around October 24th and I received approval in 4 days. We came across amazing deal on flights and booked tickets on Nov 1st to Sydney taking a bit of chance based on 4 day approval of my visitor visa. Its been 30plus days we applied, spouse visa is still pending with Travel date (dec 6th) is fast approaching. I have tried all different ways call, email, raise complaints to home-affairs of australia to gain any traction on the application, which ended up doing nothing. Reaching out here to see if there are any fellow travelers who has any type (connections, past experiences, suggestions) of information to help me out. PS: lesson learnt not to book tickets or get hope high on travel abroad until visas are approved. #travel #visa #visitor #australia

Sorry man, no advice, it was really quick for me back in the day. Sounds very unlucky. Maybe contact the embassy or try to go to one in person if there's one near you to discuss your circumstance. No other ideas. Worst case postpone your trip.
