Your visa can ONLY be evidenced into a current passport that you have
advised that you will be travelling to Australia on.
If your visa is granted and evidenced and you have subsequently obtained
a new passport, your original visa remains valid up to its original
validity date. You will need to carry both your new and your expired
passports when you travel to Australia and present both for entry
clearance.
You may, after your arrival in Australia, apply to your closest DIMA
office to have your visa label transferred into you new passport.
