I would stop asking DoHA for advice as they will often give incorrect information. If it was me, I'd return to Australia until the BVA has kicked in and then apply for a BVA for travelling overseas again. Applying for an offshore visa will be expensive (another $7000) and you then have to hope you can get visitor visas in order to spend time with your partner in Australia while the visa is being processed.
