You might find this thread and the answers in it somewhat useful and informative. Someone else is planning to go from a WHV to a de facto visa.
Switching from WHV to De Facto
Hi Guys,
I am entering Aus on 5th April on WHV and joining my Aussie partner who I have been with for 2 years. I am going to apply for De Facto about 3 months after I get there to demonstrate some time of living together.
My question is, when I apply for De Facto will I get any full working rights once I have submitted application and it is under consideration?
Or will I only gain the full working rights when the bridging visa kicks in at the end of WHV?
Is there any way the WHV can be over-ridden by De Facto?
My reason for asking is because I work in Banking Sales and being restricted to the 6 month per employer is going to mean I will struggle to get a job for such a short period of time with a Bank. Don't really think they will want to take someone on, train them, give them a portfolio only for me to leave a few months later.
Thank you!

I could be wrong, but I think I've read that if you apply for a s/c 820/801 while on a s/c 417 you would be granted a bridging visa with the same visa restrictions and conditions that are on the 462. Again, I could be wrong.Thanks, quite useful however the situation is slightly different as I am not sure I want to get married in the next year. I would not want a forced marriage situation as I know I qualify for De Facto. I am sure we will get married one day but I want to go down the traditional route and not for a visa.
I am just wondering if De Facto application pending work rights over-rides the WHV once you apply or if you have to ride out the entirety of WHV....
Thank you
Have you read the partner migration handbook? If so, do you know for certain you meet the requirements for a s/c 820/801?
The reason I ask if you meet the requirements is that you say you've been with your partner for 2 years, but you didn't say if that was in person or online LDR.
