DIAC has confirmed that its previously announced changes affecting the GSM program will come into effect on 1 July 2010.
The post on its website reads as follows:
Previously announced changes affecting the GSM program will come into effect on 1 July 2010.
If you are intending to apply online for a GSM visa before 1 July 2010, we recommend that you lodge your online application well before 6 pm AEST (GMT + 10) on Wednesday 30 June 2010 as the implementation of these and other departmental system changes is likely to cause a systems outage.

Applicants are advised to note planned system maintenance times before commencing an eVisa application, as planned maintenance will prevent a commenced application from being lodged. The department is not able to accept and back-date applications which have been commenced but not finally submitted through eVisa as a result of planned system maintenance or an outage.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
