Updating your bank details won't cancel your return, so no worries there. Our service standard for a return lodged online is 2-4 weeks. We don't have access to your account here, but we have a list of reasons your return may be taking longer than usual (https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/your-tax-return/check-the-progress-of-your-return-and-refund#Whytheremaybeadelayinprocessingyourtaxre) on our website. The most common reason is it was lodged before it was 'tax ready' or we're waiting on information from a third party (like Services Australia for example). It's not unusual to not hear from us, we only reach out if we need more information from you. The only way speed up a tax return is if you're experiencing financial hardship (https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/financial-difficulties-and-disasters/support-to-lodge-and-pay/in-detail/requesting-priority-processing), for that you'd need to provide evidence. Hopefully it's not too far away for you!
