Where do you lodge form 842?

There is NO email address. You must either lodge it online (online is the best way for subclass 202) otherwise you must send to the “nearest Australian diplomatic, consular or migration office”.

As at the time of writing the Department of Home Affairs has not provided any email address or any postal of address inside Australia, for these applications to be made.
