There is a fee if you go direct as indicated.
The airlines can get it for you. You give them you Passport number and it takes about 24-48 hours. CO will do it as a courtesy - no fee - the last several times I have done it.
QF now charges if you go through them. If you go through QF it will show up in QF computers. If you go through CO it will show up in CO computers, but not QF computers. However, once approved no matter which of the three ways you go, when you check in at the QF counter, they will enter your USA passport number and pull it out of the VISA database.
