a glimmer of hope maybe...

thanks to all your responses. This has been really frustrating to us all after spending a lot of money, time and effort we are left with nothing.
Though I will be able to rebook the tickets at a later date (without an additional cost except the fare difference which is very common), what is concerning is that if they don't extend our visas, how can we fulfil the residency requirement (let us say we managed to IED)? What are our visa options after 489 is finished but not eligible for 887?

We have our flight tickets booked this July (we need to enter before November so we can fulfil the 2-year residency requirement before our visas expire in 2023).

Does anyone think visa holders like 489 could be allowed to come to Australia by mid June 2021 (once this biosecurity travel ban is lifted)? I am following this thread for this glimmer of hope.
