[SelfieR] I used to think you had to pay money for this, and it was the expensive kind. Turns out it's free?! I even went and checked the relevant documents. It seems to be like this:
1. The applicant holds an Australian Visitor Visa (subclass 600) issued before March 21, 2020.
2. The applicant's Australian Visitor Visa (subclass 600) expired between March 20, 2020, and June 30, 2022.
3. The applicant's Australian Visitor Visa (subclass 600) is a multiple-entry visa or a single-entry visa not used to travel to Australia.
4. The applicant's new visa application must be submitted before December 31, 2022.
If you meet these conditions, the initial application will be free (confirm the fee status on the official website of the Australian Immigration Department).
