NSW Husband Adopting My Son - Legal Process of Adoption Australia?

[Mylife]

Hello,

I'm looking for information in relation to my husband formally adopting my son. He is currently 16 years old and is happy for this to happen. What would the process be in adoption Australia and the likely costs and time frame involved?

Thank you for any information or help in advance.

Where's the biological dad?

He has passed away. However, there was little to no contact prior to his passing.
