Normally as soon as you pay the 820 fee you get 2 emails.
1) Application acknowledgement of 820 application letter (this allows you to apply and get Medicare immediately).
2) The Bridging Visa A - will have full work rights and you 6 months will then be reset after this "kicks in" I believe. Check then if the 6 month restriction is still applied.
An a few occasions the #2 has been a little slow to follow by a few days or a week - if you do not get it within a week follow it up.
** There is no 12 month living together requirement - The relationship must be 12 months or more to claim de facto but not live together all that time.
