I went through all the panic and frustration that the lack of clear information from the Department of Home affairs in regards this situation for Partner visas that their First Entry Date is or is about to expire. My subclass 100 partner visa first entry date is due on the 28th of Nov,2020 but once I saw this form on their webite I relaxed and I won't worry anymore until the time comes to schedule my flight in a better and reliable time in the near future.
