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.

Excuse me, I am Mohammad Hussein Mohammadi, a millennium graduate of dentistry (39 years old), I am from Afghanistan, I do not know anyone in Australia, I want to apply for asylum, is it possible in Australia? Because I heard that medical graduates are more easily granted asylum (I have a wife, a daughter and two sons)
I’m not aware of any particular advantage you would face when seeking a protection visa based on humanitarian grounds if you are an overseas medical practitioner.
The only two things that matter are whether you meet the criteria on the one hand, and whether there are enough places allowed by the Australian government for grants of three types of visas. Therefore it will depend on how soon you get in your application and where you are in the queue.

SIR WE ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE FORM 842 IAM AN STUDENT IN INDIA BUT MY FAMILY SPECIALY MY FATHER IS IN DANGER TALIBANS ARE LOOKING FOR HIM HE IS HIDED AT HOME BECUASE OF HIS ALMOST 20 YEARS SERVING AND FIGHTING AGAINST THEM THANK YOU
Yes you may be eligible but because of the torrent of demand for humanitarian support no one has any idea of how long any application to be considered.
This does not mean you should not apply but it certainly means that you must be realistic.
I appreciate this must be extremely traumatic and frustrating for many families seeking protection.
