You cannot withdraw a refused application.
Presumably you were in Australia when the application was lodged, otherwise you would not have review rights for a 189 refusal.
Having been refused onshore, if you do not hold a substantive visa, your further onshore visa options are limited.
Depening on the grounds for the 189 refusal, your offshore visa prospects might also be limited.
If you are being advised by a registered migration agent, I suggest you take the advice.
